They say young love isn't real. It's only our bodies full of raging hormones, and our minds filled with lust that make us think we are in love. I can tell them that they're wrong. Young love is real. It can, and it does exist, at least in my seventeen year old life. My name is Claire Montgomery and I come from a family of snobs. Born into wealth, against my will, my family will do just about anything to uphold the perfect Montgomery name. I ruined that for them the day my car broke down on the side of the road and I met the love of my life, Sam Snow. Sam is from Santa Ana and I'm from Malibu. Even though, I come from a family of wealth, I want nothing to do with any of it. I like the simple things in life, like Sam. My family doesn't approve of him and they try to keep us apart. The last thing I remember is waking up in a hospital with no memory of my life. This is my journey after my accident to figure out who I am and who I was. The road to recovery isn't easy but the one thing that stayed with me after the accident was the soft voice and words that I'd never forget. "If your love was true and eternal, you will find your way to each other again."

At this time when thrift shopping surfaces again after decades of seemingly endless opulence, this book offers practical advice on how to make your dollar stretch while having it work for what matters to you. In such an economy as this, Save Money: Thrift and Consignment Clothes Shopping is timely and important as an adjunct to one's overall spending plan. Save Money asks the reader to base purchases on one's personal values and priorities versus the media's latest pitch. This strategy goes far toward yielding that comfy sense of congruency within one's most desired lifestyle. Needless to say, this is often missing today. We can find ourselves overwhelmed with unawareness, impulsively buying then regretting. If a classic A-line skirt and simple long sleeved sweater feature well-liked colors and impeccable fit, and the pleasure they provide is felt, the resultant psychological health benefits-from joy-go far beyond mere attire. Sandi invites you to clarify your values, at least in the clothing arena, as you add practical insights to shopping. Sandi teaches how to assess what works-and does not-in the readers' closets before launching a shopping trip. How to spot quality and assess good fit in the present wardrobe and later in the store is part of training for good decision-making. Organizing that same closet for efficiency and maximizing the wardrobe you have is taught. Resources are provided to inform of the planet's too often disposable mentality and how thrifty buying slows the inevitable race of goods to a landfill. Sandi reintroduces the misplaced idea that abundant living can replace what might in the past have been labeled miserly or limiting. How we choose to view purchases will be how we feel about them Save Money urges the lost art of celebration. Choose to relish your systematically purchased wardrobe, on a reduced spending plan and the result will encourage that rich sense of a life that feels good. Sandi urges you to celebrate often that which you enjoy. Fulfillment will become you
