The Cheapskate Next Door: The Surprising Secrets Of Americans Living Happily Below Their Means by Jeff Yeager
As a fellow cheapskate, I have to admit I absolutely loved The Cheapskate Next Door
The author, Jeff Yeager (who is also a cheapskate) travelled around on his bicycle and visited a whole bunch of other cheapskates. He stayed in their homes and got a chance to learn some of their money saving tricks. He also compiled data from a huge survey that he had self-professing cheapskates fill out. I want to share just a few of these tidbits with you to whet your appetite so that you will want to read this book, too.

is an easy to follow personal finance book that is written specifically for Americans. The author provides some real insight on what is happening today and he suggests that Americans are definitely changing their behaviors toward money. Rather than spending recklessly and borrowing more than they can afford to pay back, he believes Americans are getting back on the right track and becoming more financially responsible. He calls this change “the New Frugality”.
and it really brings to light what is happening today in the world’s economy. It is frightful, but Herold emphasizes that the key is to be prepared for what is to come by educating yourself.
has got to be one of the best books I have read regarding wealth and personal finance. It is inspiring, encouraging, and insightful. The book is not just about money and how to save it, spend it, etc. Instead, it’s about living a meaningful life and how money plays a part in that.
and Step 5 caught my attention, which is to be respectful of yourself and your money. The concept of respecting your money may sound a bit strange, but the way Suze describes it makes sense.
. In his book, the author suggests that anyone, regardless of their income, can become a millionaire in their lifetime.
from my local library and found it an easy to read, helpful guide for those who are struggling with debt. The book only takes about an hour or two to read and it covers everything from recognizing your debt issues to dealing with creditors.
