Become a Cheapskate

We are already living a very cheapskate lifestyle, so many of the ideas in this were not new to us at all, but Yeager's writing style was so humorous that we both ended up really enjoying this book. It also helped crystalize for us some of the thoughts/behaviors we had towards money that we hadn't really thought about consciously. We even ended up purchasing (I know, not very cheapskate of us) a few for family so they'd understand the way we are a little better. Definitely recommend if you're thinking about trying to live better while saving more (and be happier throughout).
