The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches

In 2004, at the age of 46, Yeager realized something startling. Because of the experience he gained as the self-proclaimed "Titan of Tightwads" in the nonprofit sector and the positive impact those same management techniques had on his personal finances, Yeager realized that he had reduced his dependency on money to the point where he could retire.

This totally fresh and funny take on simple living presents realistic ways to economize, live well, and embrace life's joy - without sacrificing your sanity or sense of humor. Yeager, who has always lived happily spending forty thousand dollars a year or less, shares his financial philosophy and the practices and principles that allowed him to retire at forty-six.

    I've read his book and talked to him about the booksigning. Jeff Yeager views his lack of spending as a challenge instead of an obsession. It's about keeping your way of life (and improving it) while coming up with creative methods of not spending money to get what you want. One chapter is about financial fasting. You literally do not spend any money for one week. You find out all the things you don't use, and how much stuff is sitting in your refrigerator and cupboards!
