Her three main principles are undergirded by dozens of effective rules and hundreds of Cha Ching Factor™ tips that keep or put money in your pocket. Ellie knows what it’s like to be financially-strapped or struggling. She went, within two and a half years, from being $40,000 in consumer debt to being completely debt-free; within fifteen years she shares how she was able to pay cash for eleven different cars, give away three of those cars, buy two five-bedroom houses, take wonderful vacations, and support more than thirty non-profit organizations, giving away more than $100,000. Isn’t that the rich life you want? Living Rich for Less helps anyone get there in our taxed-out, maxed-out times. Because financial security doesn’t mean just genuine prosperity, but being able to live luxuriously, give generously, and care for yourself as well as those around you. Why keep up with the Joneses when you can be them?

"Lil moneybags made saving money a profession. Give away the fist 10%, save the next 10%, and live wisely and well on the final 80%. Materialism comes with easy credit. Content makes poor men rich and discontent makes rich men poor. - Benjamin Franklin"
