Half Price Living by Ellie Kay
Half Price Living is a very practical and educational book. This is a short read that inspires you to have the confidence to achieve the goal of living on only one income.
Today, we find many families have the husband and wife working all day while the children are raised by child care providers or substitute teachers. Having our kids raised with someone else’s values is another negative result of overspending. When we can’t control our spending and go into debt, it requires more money to pay off the debt and to squeak out a meager quality of life. Many families usually decide that if both spouses work, they could possibly “make more money” to pay off debts faster and get back to normalcy. However, they find after 10 or more years that both spouses are still working and their kids are already raised by someone else with someone else’s values.
We must first admit that we have a spending problem. Then we need to recognize that with a little forethought, knowledge, and a spending plan we can survive and thrive with one income and have a close family that shares in the values we find important.
Ellie Kay’s book shares many creative and insightful ideas on how to make our goal of a one income family a reality.
It will be tough to beat debt and prepare for one income, but with discipline, God’s blessing, and a good plan, we can do it.

Because of today’s economy, most people will have to work 2 jobs in order to survive. The price of gas increasing, food increasing and if you live in New York or California, the price of housing.
Restructuring the way you spend money is important, but more importantly is that in order to survive in this world you will need an additional stream of income.
