Excellent book!

Chick Living is the ultimate book for any college graduate about to enter the work force. Kris Melcher not only gives you down-to-earth advice on how to save money and stay on budget, but how to apply it into living a very productive, fun, and frugal lifestyle. I highly recommend it!!!
Great Resource

I loved your book. I'm 32, but about 10 years ago I could've learned a lot from you all in one place. I still enjoyed reading your tips on romance & marriage and investing. Thanks for publishing such a wonderful guide for young women. You've done a great service.
Good even for those NOT just starting out

I am not just out of college and have been supporting myself quite effectively for a while now. But I still found this book helpful and informative for its advice on doing things frugally. I especially loved the chapter on entertaining. I have always been shy about hosting events because I was always afraid I couldn't pull it off. It's not just the expense; the entire thing seems overwhelming. But, the book makes it easy. It not only gives advice and direction on how throw a party one can actually afford and therefore enjoy but also gives instructions on everything from how much liquor to buy to what kind of music to play to determing the guest list. I just might entertain a little more often. Wendy
What a helpful book!

I just wanted to say how FABULOUS this book is! I'm a senior in college, getting ready to go to law school and hopefully move out soon, and this book has been like a Bible to me! It has such great ideas and helps people like me who are getting ready to go out into the "real world" on a budget. This has been the most valuable female-oriented reference I have ever owned (and I have read many self-help books!) Mrs. Melcher is a very informative and talented writer.
Perfect Graduation Gift

I picked this up because I'm in my 20s and just moved into a house. Kris has great tips on how to decorate and live frugally-but her tips go beyond that. This book is perfect for a college student looking for big sisterly advice on everything from career to fashion and entertaining people in your home. Some of my favorite parts were the make-at-home spa products! This will save me a bundle!
