We started out with very little. We had low paying jobs and one old used car, and rental house that had seen its better days. We were young, in love, and all that mattered to us was being together. We spent summer afternoons at the lake. Our idea of a great Sunday was taking a long car ride. Life continued and we found better-paying jobs. Then we discovered credit. We soon had a nicer house, a couple of nice cars and two pretty cool kids. And we were struggling. We wanted to look successful, but we were barely paying the bills.

My wife and I found out that we were going to be blessed with a baby boy. So I looked for any way to save money. Through trial and error, I perfected all the necessary skills to save 80 percent to 110 percent on every coupon transaction. Often even getting paid to take the merchandise from the store. We produced over 800 extreme couponing videos on our flagship YouTube Channel: THEGREENCABBY. This book is the refinement of those 800 videos to give you everything you need to be an extreme couponer and saver.

Flipping a house is when a real-estate investor (the buyer) buys a home that is in foreclosure (really cheap or usually at an auction), fixes it up, and resells the house at a great profit! There is a ton of money to be made in house flipping, but beware. You need to put the effort into educating yourself before you begin because a few common mistakes can cost you big time!
