Thanks for the review, Jim!

I’d like to answer Thomas’ question regarding “above average savers.” While I can’t give you numbers, I can say that from experience, Wise Bread’s unique community addresses this very question. I consider myself an “above average saver”, but I don’t know EVERYTHING about frugality. That’s why I enjoy reading the other writer’s tips at Wise Bread. No one person has all the answers, and even those tips that are considered basic, common sense frugality will have some variation based on the personality and culture. (For example, I give a bit of rural flavor to tips that my city peers swear by, as well.) It’s our diversity that makes the book a very different kind of read, in my opinion.

Best to you and your readers, Jim! For the record, I think we all like you very much, as well. (That’s my favorite kind of bias.)

Been seeing a lot of PF buzz around this book. I wonder what % of these tips will help above average savers.
