The No-Numbers Approach helps you save money but stays away from dollars and cents because many people find budgeting intimidating and overwhelming. The No-Numbers part of our approach to saving money means we avoid burn out because we don’t count pennies. It is not a condemnation of penny-counters. On the contrary, if you get to the end of the No-Numbers Approach and feel ready to work with a traditional budget, good for you!
But for those of us who never want to – or don’t want to yet – work with a spreadsheet and numbers but still want to save, it is best to start saving in the easiest way possible. Since modern society already generates records of our spending for us – namely receipts and bills – we can use those records to watch our money without having to crunch numbers.
In this book, you will learn how to cut spending without spending a lot of time doing calculations. You will learn where you spend the most and how you can gain control over that spending. And having control over spending is a very good feeling.
