The humorous guide to managing your money, now updated and stingier and saltier than ever. Packed with hilarious observations, unusual tips, and the stingiest advice money couldn’t buy, The Cheapskate’s Handbook is the perfect gag gift for your favorite miser—who might just be you. Skinflint Mifflin Lowe invites fellow cheapskates to come out of the closet in a celebration of all things free, complimentary, pro bono, and if need be, cheap. With advice on everything from avoiding generous impulses to creatively bumming off your neighbors, plus delightful watercolor illustrations, hilarious photographs, and Mifflin’s own “Miser’s Aptitude Test,” The Cheapskate’s Handbook will have you laughing and saving money at the same time. What a deal! Praise for The Cheapskate’s Handbook “This book is fun. Whether you truly have some Scrooge in your DNA or not, it’s hard to take the Miserliness Aptitude Test . . . explore the Roommate Fee List . . . or read the “How to Avoid Taking Your Spouse or Significant Other to a Movie” chapter and not crack a smile. Or more. Lowe is irreverent, silly, and quite often over the top. . . . It’s a 2.0 edition, after all, so he gives you the cheapskate view on Uber, Lyft, Miley Cyrus, and more.” —Ryan G. Van Cleave, Sarasota Scene

It used to be that “stuff” made you cool. That is so twentieth century. 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. Do for yourself what you could have others do for you. Cheapskates are die-hard do-it-yourselfers. It’s all about having the right tools, and The Ultimate Cheapskate will get you started. 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. The Ultimate Cheapskate’s Road Map to True Riches promises a quality of life you cannot buy, a sense of satisfaction you cannot fake, and an appreciation for others and for the planet that gives life value. Open your road map and prepare to discover the true joys of financial freedom.

Being a Cheapskate isn't bad at all. There are times when one must learn ways to tighten the wallet in order to save. The problem is that some folks are given the title Cheapskate and they don't really deserve it. Like spending six dollars in a grocery store for a package of meat. A real Cheapskate would try to get their meat for FREE. Instead of paying two dollars for a soda, a real Cheapskate would find a way to take advantage of a FREE cup of water and ice. A real Cheapskate won't eat out in a restaurant unless he/she had a coupon for a FREE meal or if someone else was paying for it. To them, it's all about paying nothing because they are unwilling to spend any money to a point of doing without if they have to. But Cheapskates have to eat too. Food is a necessity for all. There is no getting around it. We all must have food in order to survive. In this book, you'll find out how Cheapskates spend absolutely nothing for food.
