It used to be that "stuff" made you cool. That is so twentieth century. The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map To True Riches lays out the practices and principles that have made cheap the new cool.

Jeff Yeager, the man dubbed The Ultimate Cheapskate by Matt Lauer on Today, offers a completely fresh take on personal finance, teaching us how to enjoy life more by spending less. He will show you how to buy less stuff, retire young, and live financially free, while you make a positive difference in people's lives and save the planet along the way. The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map To True Riches lays out the practices and principles that have made cheap the new cool.

Live within your means at thirty and stay there. The Ultimate Cheapskate was living well on what he earned at thirty, so when he made more money, he saved every penny. Now he is "selfishly" employed, doing work he loves and helping others.

Pinch the dollars and the pennies will pinch themselves. It's not the $3 cup of coffee; it's the big-ticket decisions that determine whether you'll be financially free. So buy a house, not a castle.

This totally fresh take on simple living -- as practical as it is entertaining and heartfelt -- presents realistic ways to economize, live well, and embrace life's joys, all without sacrificing you sanity or sense of humor.

Reviews

"Yeager convincingly makes the case that frugality can free more time and cash for life's true pleasures -- a passion-filled career, hobbies and giving back to one's loved ones and community." -- Publisher's Weekly

"A compelling -- and highly entertaining -- look at improving both the quality of our lives and the health of our planet by consuming wisely and laughing out loud." -- Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club

"People today think frugality is no fun. Jeff puts the lie to it. I recognize in him my own delight at concocting high joy, low cost solutions to life's challenges. Less doesn't mean deprivation -- it means less stress, commuting, illness, loneliness and the other ills of our 'more is better' and 'it's never enough' culture. Enjoy!" -- Vicki Robin, co-author of
