Author and lecturer Jeff Yeager (dubbed The Ultimate Cheapskate on NBCs The Today Show) advises us how to structure our relationship with money. With many facing economic hardship, Yeagers guidance is especially relevant. At the backbone of living cheaply is deciding what enough for you is. Using a humorous and practical approach, and by sharing from his own experience (Yeager himself was able to retire at age 46 by decreasing his dependency on money), he shows us how you can learn to enjoy life more by spending less.

You can enjoy life spending less, retiring young, and being financially free. Live frugally by seeking a new life philosophy. More important than making more money is spending less money. Spending less is a good thing to do. A cheapskate is the polar opposite than a consumer that shows off by showing how much they can buy. The relationship between wealth and happiness is non-existent, unless you live in abject poverty. Money has actually become a drain on human beings, with many always wanting more. Fewer than half of Americans will pay off their mortgage over their lifetime. Possessions and consumption have become the cool thing. In the past, the opposite was the case. Thrift and being a cheapskate has become uncool.
