I wanted to like this, and I think there was good information in it, but the author comes from a very privileged viewpoint. This would not be useful to people in lower classes.

I'm not sure what exactly I got from this book...I think I'm a little more clear on wanting to buy certain things and knowing what to look for in items I do buy to last. But overall I just don't think this book said anything I hadn't already figured out by myself, and at times it was like reading a long advertisement for the author's website/business. There are a few good tips here and there, but a lot of them have that same self-help mushy, saccharine feeling to them where I know there's no way I would ever apply the advice to my life. As usual when it comes to self-help, this book could have been half as long as it was. But the idea of it is very nice and I am definitely more motivated to be even more careful with what I choose to buy.

A very useful book. Lots of things for me to think about.
