A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned

Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution only to give up on it at the first sign of failure? In A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned, Sarabella Solomon shares the insights she gained from journaling a New Year’s resolution about saving money. When her first plan to save a little each payday failed due to unexpected circumstances, Bella didn’t give up. She found not just one way around the obstacle, but two ways! One approach led to becoming a comparative shopper; the other helped her to learn to live on less. Filled with comical graphics, Bella illustrates how she took her most dreaded chore - grocery shopping - and made it a task she looks forward to every payday. And the savings? Well, she throws that change into a jar and notes the savings on a spreadsheet. The amounts keep adding up, surpassing that of her original plan! Sarabella Solomon grew up in rural Georgia. She has an MBA from Kennesaw State University and a career with the power company. Bella enjoys making New Year’s Resolutions, journaling, researching and writing. Her commitment to saving allows her creativity to shine like new money . When low on cash, Bella can whip up a last-minute gift using any one of her many talents: sewing, crocheting, or a folk-art painted hat box made from a real wooden cheese box! Ms. Solomon is known by her Red Hat Sisters as Princess Bella; she is a member of the Red Top Mountain Girls, of Acworth, Georgia, an official chapter of the Red Hat Society. Bella currently resides in Cartersville, Georgia.
