Spend less and enjoy life more!
That’s the bottom line for “America’s Ultimate Cheapskate,” personal finance expert Jeff Yeager, who declares that “cheap is the new cool.” Currently on national book tour by bicycle, he will pedal into town to speak at the Downtown Eugene Public Library on Wednesday, July 28, at 6:00 p.m. Admission is free.
Books for purchase and signing will be available courtesy of the University of Oregon Bookstore/Duck Store.
Both humorous and practical, Yeager appears widely in the media to share the secrets of creating a debt-free, low-stress, comfortable, and meaningful life. He is a frequent guest everywhere from CNN to National Public Radio, USA Today to The Today Show. His first book was the popular Ultimate Cheapskate’s Roadmap to True Riches.
His new book is The Cheapskate Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of Americans Living Happily Below Their Means. To research it, Yeager traveled the country to interview his fellow cheapskates and learn their strategies.
Yeager found that these “Miser Advisors” are weathering the economic storm with barely a scrape and feeling relatively little stress about money. From simple money-saving tips to truly life-changing principles, they share common strategies for living well while spending far less than the average American.
Yeager will also share suggestions for “saving green by going green,” raising money-smart kids, and retiring early.
“The Cheapskate Next Door proves once and for all that living happily within your means is possible at practically any income,” writes David Bach, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire and Start Late, Finish Rich.
Gregory Karp, the syndicated newspaper columnist and author of Living Rich by Spending Smart and The 1-2-3 Money Plan, says that Yeager has “uncovered a truth few Americans know: not only can you be happy buying less stuff, you would likely be happier. [His book is] a must-read for those who want to jump off the consumer treadmill and discover what’s really important.”
Publishers Weekly writes, “Yeager and his ‘Miser Advisers’ are proof that living more frugally isn’t about sacrifice — it’s about making choices every day to live a better, happier, more thoughtful life with less.”
