Overview

Thousands have done it, You can too!

We’ve all felt the pressure to “keep up with the Joneses”. Often it seems like it takes two incomes to survive in today’s economy. But what if that is not true for your family? What if your family can thrive on less than two full-time salaries and flourish by spending more time together?

Tackling these tough questions using faith-based views and values, this book gives parents encouraging and realistic ideas for a healthy and solid family.

In this book, Brese Doebler challenges the two income assumption, and takes you on a journey toward the joy of discovering your family.

Editorial Reviews

As I read this book, I thought often of the great moms I know (so many of them!) and all the ways they make life work while doing their best for their children and families. I am constantly in awe of moms and the lives they create for their families. Cathi Brese Doebler does a wonderful job of helping parents think through how they might thrive on less than one income, so that children have the benefit of more “face time” with their parents.

In the book was a chapter I was very excited about - Ways to Save Money. I have always been frugal, and am always looking for ways to be even more so! Cathi divides her cost saving ideas into easy to use categories - food, utilities, home and transportation, and more. I saw several ideas we had already implemented. I also saw a few ideas I want to start doing.

I highly recommend this book to couples with children, and even to couples who don’t yet have children but are planning on it someday. It is a great financial tool for anyone to have, especially if your considering cutting your hours at work to be at home with your family. The Bible verses at the end of each chapter help remind us that we did God’s help in all we do, especially in financial and family matters.
