“As a teacher, I could easily do an extension activity and have the kids write about what animal they would like to have as a pet (and why)”. - Elementary Teacher

REVIEWS OF "A MONEY SAVING MINDSET":
"...Fantastic book on saving....I wish I wrote it, but I try to live by it.....(after sharing with his Producer) it saved him several hundred dollars a month..."
- Ray Lucia Radio & TV Host, mentioned 10/13/15 EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network's Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie Show

"A Money Saving Mindset: 40 Ways to Help You Save" is a good reference because it has useful advise for people of all economic backgrounds......I would recommend this book to people like me, who don't always save as much as they could. The book is also concise without all the complex financial jargon..." - Goodreads Review
"This book has some great money saving ideas! I didn't even know about some of the phone apps to help save money, and I was thinking of buying a car and now have some money saving strategies to work with. I already used coupons, but this book takes saving money to a new level. A must to give college students, newlyweds, or anyone who needs a quick lesson on stretching the hard earned dollar these days! I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, but Thank you Derek for the money saving education!" - Goodreads Review
"This book contains very practical, realistic ways of saving money. It's a quick read, but the value (literally!) is in the content, not the volume. Some of the 40 tips I've already been doing, but a lot of them struck me as "why didn't I think of that!?". I'm grateful to the author for the extra money I'll now have as a result of this helpful book!" - Goodreads Review
"Great book for a great value!! Definitely had simple ideas that I wouldn't have thought about for saving money & going to put it to good use! I would highly recommend this book to others!" - Amazon Review
