Crystal Paine offers hope to the financially hopeless in her audio book The Money Saving Mom's Budget. She "reads" the book herself, but speaks more like an encouraging friend and mentor who has solutions to all your money problems. You definitely won't be lulled to sleep but will have your interest always peaked to see what she says next. Crystal covers everything finance-related to help get you on track in obtaining (and keeping) control of your budget, and answers the many objections that may have left you feeling there is no way out of your money mess.
Not just a book of ideas, Crystal takes us step by step to getting into a better financial situation and makes this information applicable to any one in any situation. Also included are PDF worksheets to use for what you are instructed to do in the audiobook.
I definitely enjoyed listening to this audiobook and will be listening to it again and implementing much of what I've learned for my own family. I love that she talks not only about budgeting, but addresses common family issues related to money and encourages us to declutter and simplify!
If you'd like to buy the book yourself, you can do so here.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review of it.
Never pay retail is interesting because that isn't a possibility for most (perhaps in the US) - I assume she is referring to buy wholesale, would this include Costco (as we do have them)?
