The less debt the more freedom, and it doesn't matter if you make 15k per year or 550k.
I second that!

😉 You just recommended this to us again August 18 , 2023 ❤
I grew up the eldest of 11 children. My dad worked, my mom raised us. I could probably write this book too. Mom could take the money that Dad gave her for groceries fill the fridge, freezer, cupboards and still have money to save for whatever she wanted to buy for herself. (usually something special for the house) We had a huge garden. We picked wild berries in season. We ate wild foods. (She and I read all of Euell Gibbons' books) We joined a health food co-op.We made a lot of our own clothes, recycled, repurposed and upcycled things before these things had a name. I am so thankful for all I learned from growing up this way.
Amy changed my life when I subscribed to her newsletters in the 1990s then bought her books. I have been debt free for 10 years and raised two children. Her name is pronounced “decision.”
I don’t know how I found the book but I bought it as soon as I had my first kid 12 years ago! ❤️
You should re-share this because people really need it now more than ever! :)
I loved the video!!! I just found the book on Amazon!!! Thank you!
I 've read many books, but one changed my life, "The BIBLE'! One person, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Love and prayers for James and you and family.
Thank you for the reshare. This book has been totally fantastic for our family. Im so grateful. Its nice to know there are other tightwads 😁
💜
❤️❤️
GREAT BOOK! DONT lose that!! Wow🏆BET ITS GONE TODAY
my tightwad gazette looks like yours very loved lol the book is a wealth of information. I especially loved just her articles on mentality of being frugal.
Thank you for sharing about this book!
I subscribed to the original newsletter. It changed my life as well. I still have the three volume set. Learning to make muffins without a specific recipe is a game changer! I can make any flavor, any combination, without looking up a recipe with the muffin formula.
I still have my book of this. Found the first book when it came out. Was so happy they made a complete one combining the previous books. Anyone know if there has been a more recent revision? In 2023 we could all use one. Though, much of the information will not have changed but some things have.
I remember her news letters
Chief and Prepper me too!
I got her newsletters, I'm pretty sure the pronunciation of her name is 'Decision'.
The skills I learned from her meant that when my FIL got married in Florida we were able to go and do Disney on the trip without going ridiculously overboard. We spent less on a ten day trip for four then most would spend on a five day trip for two.
Yes, her husband's surname is pronounced /decision/
This book has been my frugal bible for 30 years. Amy Dacyczyn covered all the things anyone would ever need for a good life.
I subscribed to her newsletter from the beginning, and still have them all, plus her annual letters in a big 3-ring binder. Saving money never goes out of style.
ten plus years ago did the Dave Ramsey course. Payed off hundred thousand plus in debt. Downsized. Began prepping and building a home site, gardens and orchards on a 15 acre spot adjacent to state wildlife/water refuge. By God's grace realized life is way more valuable then things. Because of a faith/mind shift I retired left the rat race and now live a blest life and revel in every day God gives me. I am as ready as possible if SHTF. I have built strong bonds with like minded people and a home church group. We have conducted the Dave Ramsey program for hundreds of folks as part of our community out reach. We are currently working on a modified program for high school and young adults that families/ schools and society have failed to teach the basics on credit-saving and building a debt free life.
That’s wonderful!
How did the classes for young adults go?
It's so hard to teach this kind of lifestyle to kids when the world/other kids tell them it's unessasary.
Bless you!
I do that also, that is put sticky notes on the pages of my books to help me find articles that I want to read often. Thanks!

I read this when my daughter was a baby. Now that’s she is an adult and has a child I purchased it for her.
I used to get her newsletters back in the day and then bought all of her books. There is a wonderful tightwad Gazette Facebook group which is very informational.
Love the tightwad gazette!!
I read Amy's first book in the 80's as well as reading Larry Burkett's (Christian Financial Concepts) books and newsletters... I attended the classes that Larry conducted in Atlanta and Chattanooga. That motivated my wife and I to become debt free and live a much less consumption driven life. Unfortunately, she has passed, but I now enjoy a much more secure future due to the teaching by Amy and Larry..
I finally donated my copy of this book. I got it when it first came out back in the olden days. I loved The Tightwad Gazette. Love how well loved your book is. Now I am wondering if mine is still in the basement. I haven't read it in years. I got her newsletter many years ago.
Saw the Amy on Donahue with her kids and I was hooked. Then I followed and bought each book as published.
I loved it too. The big lesson i got from her was to multiply your costs/savings to an hourly wage. She is awesome! Btw, her name is pronounced like decision. Who would guess that? Ha! Enjoyed your endorsement!
just secured a copy for under $5 online. Now THAT'S frugal ;-)
Dacyczyn + Emery.....The Tightwad Gazette + The Encyclopedia of Country Living = A Better Life! Love them!
Patara...Would you consider doing regular videos...say, monthly? about frugal living within homesteading? I'd LOVE it!,,,And I should have listed the most important book first...The Bible!
We shop at Save-A-Lot and they have a Spagetti Sauce that cost a dollar. After we use the sauce, we save the jars for jelly or jam. It works out well.
I bought each one of the individual books when they came out. I love them all.They've saved me so much money, time and helped me learn to think about things differently..
I have the hardback cover copy of this book! I have poured over it for more years than I care to mention. It is lovingly held together at the binding with duct tape :)
I saw your suggestion for "The Tightwad Gazette" & as a young stay-at-home mom on a very small income, I decided to check it out in the library. I've had it less than a week & I already feel it's impact on how our family does things.
We cracked the bottom of a plastic pitcher, so that it won't hold liquids anymore, but it's otherwise intact. I decided to tape the bottom & the spout to make it airtight, than put my husband's granola cereal that I also made inside. Nothing wasted!
I'm already recommending this book to as many people as I can.
I love that book! My kids are grown, but when they were little that book came out in Vol 1 then Vol 2 and then Vol 3- I was so excited when each vol came out! Washing and reusing baggies... that's all I'm going to say...😂😂
Love this book, she changed my life too! Funny thing was, it was a lot of things my parents had always said. lol Whenever I let the world make me feel like I should spend, i crack this book open for motivation.
Her name is pronounced the same as the word "decision". She changed my life too, back in the '80s, when I got her newsletter. I love her books! Thanks for sharing about her! We need this more now than ever :)
We LOVE Dave Ramsey! We went through Financial Peace University at church and learned so much. We are about 1/2 through out debt free journey :) I look forward to checking out this book.
We just started Dave Ramsey's program! Oh how I wish I learned about it twenty years ago!
R Venable We started in September. If you focus really hard it goes super quick. I get more and more motivated each month. We paid off our first debt this month and hopefully our second next month. When we started I thought it would take about 16 months on baby step 2. Now it's looking more like 11-12. So excited!!! Good luck on your journey.
Ooooh, I'm going to buy this book! Thanks for this!! I would love to know more suggested books from your homesteading library.
Mine just arrived!! I'm preparing for retirement.
DAVE RAMSEY ROCKS
ordered this last night after watching your video. thanks for the recommendation and the link..❤
I will have to look into this book as well. I'm just getting into Dave Ramsey and trying to figure things out financially. I wish I had started in my 20's!!!! Thanks for sharing and what a cute boy!!!!
I have it!!! OMGGOSH!!! I love that book!
On eBay from $2 used! Ordered! Thanks for the tip. Keep them coming.
I just ordered this book. Also I ordered the chain mail cast iron scrubber per your recommendation and love it! Thanks! Oh! I'm so attending Appalachian Homestead Conference🤗
Oh my gosh! I know I am watching this a year after you filmed it but I had to comment. I was waiting to see what the book was and I kept thinking to myself " could it be as good as the Tightwad Gazette"? I laughed when I saw that you were talking about Tightwad Gazette. Love this book. Made a big difference in our financial lives.
I already loved your Channel , now I REALLY love it!! I still have my original Tightwad Gazette Newsletters!! You are so right, a must have for frugality!!!❤❤❤
I beat my copy up pretty bad, too. Great book! Blessings to you!
I have that book! It is awesome!
I bought this years ago and use it every month still, just for the muffin recipe haha and have read it half a dozen times easy!
I remember her very well. I think she was on the Pil Donahue show years ago when I first heard of her. Thanks for the reminder. I think I need to read the book.
I have had her books since 1992. She is awesome. I still read them and I am so happy you like her, too!
Love this book..have had it forever. Traded my paperback for a hard cover. They last forever. I have the postit notes all over mine too. Lol
this is the book that changed my life also! I live near Amy and keep thinking I'd like to stop in and have her sign my copy :)
At the start of the video, over your right shoulder, do you like that mini greenhouse? I got one for Christmas and was wondering what you thought about it.
I bought mine back in the days of when you had to buy them separately. I love them!!!
I've had her book for years, it's one of the first one's I bought when we started homesteading. She's great!
Two others - Reader's Digest: Back to Basics and Voluntary Simplicity by Duane Elgin. They are all wonderful homesteading guides.
I have her 3 books. She is so savvy in saving money. Read it, save and learn.
Patara, you rock!! THANK YOU!!!
I'm rereading mine currently. Mine are actually 3 separate books. Love the Tightwad Gazette.
I have borrowed that book from the library and read it a few times. It has so many frugal ideas.
Purchased! Can't wait to read.
i remember getting the tightwad gazette when they were still individual news letters. she convinced me that i should do things like make baby food long before it was popular. it really was what started things for me all those years ago. i didn't know there was a book collection to be had. i need to get one to set on my book shelf between my copy of "Nourishing Traditions" and my 1949 edition of "The Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery"
Sounds like a great book. Have a good morning!!!
I really like your book recommendations; I have added this to my amazon wish list
I still have my newsletters LOL
Thanks for the information....going to check it out of our library.....read and review it before I decide to purchase it......
alrighty....just bought it Used off of Amazon ;)
I have had this book for over 15 years... I live in Portugal and I have seen Amy on RUclips.... Her name is pronounced "DECISION".
wow! got my book already! so excited to start reading
This book saved us. I've had mine for over 10 years! Got us out of a 1 bedroom apt into a house. Going back to my roots to get us from city to country like she did!!
thank you!
Thanks to you I just bought this. Waiting for it come.
I have all three of the originals. Taught me so much as a new wife and mother. We still use her pizza recipe. Yummy
she has a number 2 also... just bought them from abes bookstore online
Holy Cow! I saw years ago on I believe Oprah some ladies who had a newsletter called the Tightwad Gazette about frugal living. When I first got a computer and got online I was looking for it figuring it must have gone to an online format, but I could never find it!!! Thank you! Thank You!! I am so excited I am going to find it on Amazon, used of course! :)
I have that book and Dave Ramsey! I have Carla Emory too. Great books!
This is my FAVORITE book!!! I have worn mine out...LOVE it!!!
So right! Just because it's on sale doesn't mean you need to buy it! My partner has a hard time with that one.
I have one of the volumes. I need to dig it out and flip through it again.
Absolutely the best book on saving money and being frugal!
Actually Amy has 2 of these books!
Thank you for this recommendation 😘
Your's looks like mine!! It's always out where I can reach it.
I have this book. I have 1 2 3 book
I LOVE that book!
I love Amy Dacyczyn and I own all three of her books. I remember the first time I saw her was on the Oprah Winfrey show with her husband about 30 years ago and I envied their lifestyle but I could never make it happen with my own life. I did get many great ideas that I have used and I often refer back to her books for new ideas. Thanks for sharing your video.🙏🏼
It is so amazing that you posted this video now because I am desperate for a life change before we grow our homestead any further. I just got the Total Money Makeover and started reading it last night. I will be ordering this book tonight!!!
As always thank you, you are a life saver!!!
I have 2 copies of this book. Love the advice.
I can't wait for it to get here!!
