'A Treasury of Thrift' gives you the pick of the advice of the great thrifty writers of the past - including Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Smiles and Lydia Maria Frances Child, author of 'The American Frugal Housewife'. Rather than providing detailed advice on budgeting or investing, this little book of money saving quotations from great writers will help you change your 'money mindset'; the first vital step to help you grow towards financial security. It contains a wealth of thought-provoking ideas that you will want to return to again and again. This is a companion volume to 'Frontier Frugal' which gives hints on putting the thrifty philosophy of this book into practice.
