*My Review*
Pound Foolish is the 4th book in the "Windy City Neighbors" series. The only other book I've read from Dave & Neta was "Penny Wise"(book 3 in the windy city neighbors series). I was really excited when I got the email saying I was going to be reviewing this book. I ejoyed "penny wise", and couldn't wait to read this one.
The Jackson's are amazing & inspiring authors. In Pound Foolish, we meet the Singer family. A couple who have been married for quite some time & have two children,a boy and a girl.
Greg Singer, is the breadwinner of the family. His job as an event coordinator for PowerSport. Just when he thinks he is at the top of his game, the economy takes a nose dive and some of the larger companies are deciding to pull their registrations from upcoming events. *uh oh!* Greg believes everything will be okay, but soon learns that his boss is closing the company and he is about to be laid off. His biggest issue is how to tell his wife Nicole.
