Review: Molly’s Money Saving Digest – Jan 2009

Posted in Miscellanea

This week I had the privilege to review an eBook digest that The Old Schoolhouse Magazine (TOS) is preparing to publish next month. I enjoyed the eBook and hope my humble review of it will whet your appetite for Molly’s fresh ideas for frugal living in 2009.

Molly’s Money Saving Digest will be available from TOS in monthly eBook installments and will cover a variety of topics related to helping families use their finances and resources wisely.

January’s digest begins by introducing some creative (and tasty) ideas for decorating and showing hospitality. Tips for assembling an emergency car kit will be very helpful to those of us who live in snowy regions. Molly also lists several household and personal items generally found on sale in stores this month. Very handy for those who like to stock up for future needs.

I was also encouraged by the Parenting section. In it she talks about the importance of the three R’s – not reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic, but respect, responsibility, and resourcefulness – and why it’s vital we train our children to cultivate these qualities. Come to think of it, the more we cultivate the three R’s in our own lives, it will help us be wiser stewards of the relationships and resources God has blessed us with.

My favorite section, though, was the Special Feature, “Getting Organized for Fiscal Fitness”. Simply put, it is about creating a budget, including why we need one and how to plan it. This is one of our family’s main goals for 2009 and this section was detailed and clearly laid out for even this math-challenged homemaker to understand and implement.

I enjoyed reading the eBook digest and hope you will look for it in January. I’m sure you will be encouraged and challenged as you and your family embark on the adventure that a new year brings.
