So you're unemployed? Aside from the psychological and emotional issues regarding job loss, there is also the financial aspect to consider. No matter how much (or how little) money you have stashed in the bank, you've got to start being careful if you want it to last throughout your unemployment. That's the point of this book; making your money last and avoiding falling into debt. Topics such as insurance, mortgages and rent, food, cars, entertainment, and even pets are all covered. And you'll discover a range of savings tactics; easy approaches to save some money, moderate approaches to save more, and even extreme tactics to squeeze out the maximum savings. Which level you use is up to you because, after all, it's your money. There is also a section on budgeting, and a section for more money-saving ideas. With all of these ways to save, you can't afford not to buy this book.
