Finally, after another long winter, the sun’s out and weather is getting warmer. For many students, this week or the next represent a wonderful respite from the rest of the semester. Or, in other terms, it’s Spring Break! From beaches to family visits, the fun begins soon! Meanwhile, I’ll be having a “staycation” and working throughout the week. Isn’t it fun getting older?

Regardless, I wanted to celebrate in my own special way. Over the entire week of Spring Break — March 13th through the 20th — I’ve created a sale for my book, Frugaling: Save more, live well, give generously! Regularly priced at $2.99, the book will be available for $0.99, and if you’re an Amazon Prime or Kindle Unlimited subscriber, it’s free.

The book took years to make, as it was a compilation of all my essays and stories. Additionally, I added special notes and updated articles to reflect new ideas and changes. I poured my heart into making it a special, light, fun read — perfect for a little time away from textbooks.

I hope it’ll inspire you to become more frugal and live intentionally. If you enjoy the book, please share it with others and give a review on Amazon. I’d love your feedback!

Thanks for being a faithful reader.

Stay frugal,

Sam

After weeks of final edits, a big cover art change, and rounds of feedback from friends and family, I’m excited to announce that Frugaling: Save more, live well, give generously is now available on Amazon.com!

The book is over two years in the making. At the beginning of my frugal journey, I had five figures of debt. Now, I have assets and capital. I no longer worry about what I’ll owe the bank. My potential and future are invested in me. I wrote Frugaling so that others could find financial freedom and empowerment.

But today, rather than focus on why I decided to write this book, I figured I’d acknowledge some of the people that helped make it happen. The people I want to mention have been interested from day one. They have supported, encouraged, and promoted my work better than I could ever do. And for that, I’m eternally grateful.

To Mom and Dad, you shared the site and book with friends and family, provided commentary along the way, and built a home where reading and writing were vital skills. And Mom, a special thank you for reading and editing the early drafts.
To Noah, thank you for providing some last minute changes to the book. I would’ve looked like a fool without your help! Good luck on your first day of school.
To Joshua, your words spawned the last 6 months of work to write and compile this book. I cannot thank you enough for your support and help.
To Danny, Eric, and Kate, I couldn’t have asked for three bigger fans. You signed up for the email digests, marketed my book, and offered inspiration for countless articles over the years.
To Jeff, thanks for keeping in touch all these years. Our shared experiences with debt helped light a fire for Frugaling!
To Chase, Christian, Danika, Devan, Kevin, Laura, Linda, Morgan, Nika, Paul, Susan, Yun, and the many more I probably need to mention, thanks for checking in about the book, commenting on the site, and sending interesting articles my way. You’ve been an incredible network for support and ideas.
To those who email, tweet, text, and/or randomly message me, your words mean so much. I’m always blown away when someone says an article made them feel better and/or connected. I’ll do my best to keep it up.

Gratitude comes easy after writing this book. I couldn’t have done it without you all. I hope you’ll support me by buying the book today! And I’d love it if you shared the book on Twitter and Facebook to help spread the word.

Thanks for being a frugal friend,

Sam
