It is easier to earn money than it is to save it. We really need to remember what it was like generations ago when saving money was a common way of life. In this book I will share many ideas and a history of old time thrift. I will explain how to start a financial journal (or money diary) as a bookkeeping tool to carefully monitor the household spending. I will describe, in detail, how to set up an old fashioned, modest budget without using modern categories of spending that were unheard of by humble families in previous generations. You will be intrigued to read how a wife can carefully manage bookkeeping for the home in a family of limited means. There are many modern budgets for the middle and upper classes. Here you will find financial help for those living simply on a small income.
