Reviews for Living Well, Spending Less

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm sad I wasted a Hoopla borrow on the audiobook version of this. The author does say in the into "there will be bible quotes" but I wish I had known the whole friggin book was going to religious spirit-babble. She says more than once you won't change or find contentment "without faith". Yawn. It sounds like she traded one life crutch (shopping) with another (religion).
