    Dr. Phil — Financial Tips and Tricks

    When a producer from Dr. Phil called us we were amazed. When we found out that the entire show they were putting together was going to center around our book and our family we were astounded.And when Robin McGraw leaned over to her husband (Dr. Phil) and quietly said, "That was a really good show," as they walked off the set — we were astonished!

    Business Journal Deutsche Börse Group—The Money Rules

    This magazine article is very unusual because we simply don't remember doing the interview that resulted in a four page articles complete with photos. We know that might sound strange, but extra photos from various photo shoots can be posted for other magazines to use and writers can gather quotes from various articles and put together their own story.

    That's what we think happened here.

    The photos were shot by Jennifer Grimes who was a photographer for the East Valley Tribune Newspaper (we remember doing an interview where she shot a lot of photos).

The frugal life is sustainable — not like a debt driven lifestyle with it peaks and valleys of spending and deprivation.
