Frugality for Depressives: Money-saving tips for those who find life a little harder - Paperback

by Abigail Perry (Author)

It's no secret that depression makes life harder. Sometimes it takes everything you have just to get through the day. The thought of frugality might seem daunting or even impossible. It's not. Veteran personal finance blogger Abigail Perry has developed a money-smart lifestyle despite depression and chronic fatigue. In this one-of-a-kind book, she offers tips and tactics to help you navigate frugality even during the worst depressive spells. The author analyzes the most common money-saving techniques and lets you know which ones to try, which to adapt and which ones are best avoided. "This is a one-of-a-kind book produced by a one-of-a-kind author. As a depressive with chronic fatigue, Abigail Perry didn't just research her subject - she lived it. She got tired of being scolded by finance experts whose advice simply didn't apply to her situation. Through trial and error Perry developed realistic workarounds both for daily living and long-term goals. Her brand of 'imperfect frugality' can help you cut through exhaustion, shame and fear to build a life that works." -- Liz Weston, NerdWallet columnist and author of Your Credit Score
