The Ultimate Cheapskate’s Road Map to True Riches: A Practical (and Fun) Guide to Enjoying Life More by Spending Less Audiobook

" This is a cutsey book about Jeff Yeager's lifestyle. It ranges far and wide, beyond mere cheapskatehood (?) into philosophy, politics, life and its meaning. A lot of his advice is right on point and he phrases it very well. DO NOT BUY this book! Check it out from the library, put it in your backpack and pedal it home. "

" So, the author is a pervert & I think he thinks he's funnier than he actually is. However, there were some enjoyable stories & some good ideas. I was hoping for more ideas, but the overall point is a good one. You can live with less & still be happy - how true, how true. "

" The first of Jeff Yeager's cheapskate series, this is NOT the same book as The Cheapskate Next Door, although it does have an identical theme. Lots of good, fun, practical advice in Yeager's very readable style. "

" This might have been really great if I apparently weren't already so good at being cheap. "

" A fun read. Many of the ideas are a bit extreme for most of us, but there are some good ideas for everyone. "

" Mr. Yeager's book makes you think about your financial situation but it's mainly common sense. That being said, the book inspires you to make better choices and to truly consider the decisions you make on a daily basis. His style is juvenile and often annoying. I was put off by it but I guess the flip side is the message that you don't have to be stodgy and professional to be smart about money. "

" Great and simple philosophy about how to hold on to your money. Definitely made me rethink my spending habits and actually change them. Would have given it 5 stars, but the author has a fairly dirty mind and it came through a bit too much. Nothing too bad - it just got old after a while. "

" Really makes you think about your time vs money. There are some realy good points think about, but the humor is very dry and kind of preachy. "

" There were some good facts and thoughts to ponder, but there was nothing life-changing in this book. His sense of humor was too perverse for me at times. "

" This has been the funniest finance book I have ever read! It gives great advice and information on money/finances while delivering plenty of laugh out loud moments! Yes, some of the advice is a little over the top but for the most part its good & practical! "

" Overall, kind-of funny, mildly interesting and a bit juvenile in the writing. Some of his ideas, like yearly spending audits to learn where you wasted money the previous year were unusual. Otherwise, just common sense. "

" This author is hilarious! He had a lot of great advice. "

" The writing is humorous. I do agree with many things he said in the book and I applaud his way of living a happier life. "

" In the end it isn't much fun...but it may be necessary "

" Good book with some helpful advice, but kind of goes off the deep end in a few places. Overall, fairly practical. Presents the thought that sometimes the way to riches involves working and earning less and enjoying life more. "

" Spend less, have more... "

" He has a bit of a vulgar way of describing things, but in spite of that, this was a very informative look at how we spend, and how we need to spend. I recommend it to anyone who is concerned about money. "

" I love getting in touch with my inner miser. This book was a nice reminder that I don't need everything I think I do. "

" His philosophy of spending and deciding to live on less as a lifestyle choice. Two stars because most of his ideas were pretty obvious (i.e. buying a house instead of a mansion)and his humor wore on me a bit. And some of his ideas are too cheap even for me. "

" Not nearly as practical, fun, or inspiring as Total Money Makeover, but a few good ideas and a quick read. "

" This book was good, but I preferred his second book The Cheapskate Next Door. Still a worthwhile read if you are looking for financial inspiration. "

" This is a great read, especially if you have a frugal bit to you. Jeff is so extreme but he has solid ideas and great philosophy's about what really brings joy in life. "

" Another outstanding book for helping in our questionable economy! "

" Really makes you think about your time vs money. There are some realy good points think about, but the humor is very dry and kind of preachy. "

" This was a great read. It had a very nice mixture of frugality and comedy. At times I was laughing out loud while reading this book. After reading, you would want to hang out with the guy, but with the knowledge that he might have a BOGOF (Buy one get one free) coupon for the meal. "

" In the end it isn't much fun...although I do have to admit I think about some of its advice in certain moments when I am not being thrifty... "

" This author is hilarious! He had a lot of great advice. "

" Another outstanding book for helping in our questionable economy! "

" Didn't like it at all...WAY too much back language and crass humor and really NO tips. It was like the most general stuff you would see on TV. Dave Ramsey is WAY better. I was going to get his other book but he has completely turned me off! "

" This is a good book for the novice "cheapskate" but aside from a brief section on how to negotiate and a list of sites covering various relatively free hobbies, I didn't find anything really new. "

" This has been the funniest finance book I have ever read! It gives great advice and information on money/finances while delivering plenty of laugh out loud moments! Yes, some of the advice is a little over the top but for the most part its good & practical! "

" Surprisingly funny, this book is packed with practical advice for living on less. It's also a fun read! "

" The financial advice was along the same lines that we follow and prescribe to. The book was full of perverted little quips, which bothered me and made it nearly impossible that I would recommend it to anyone to read. "
