Synopsis

Unlike most retirement planning and lifestyle books that focus on investing—or at the other end of the spectrum, on how to get the senior discount on a Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny's—this new book from Jeff Yeager, America's favorite cheapskate, makes the compelling case that you can have a joyous, worry-free retirement by merely spending smart and focusing on what you truly want and expect out of retirement. Combining Yeager's loveable humor and offbeat anecdotes that have garnered him an ever-growing fan base, How to Retire the Cheapskate Way shares hundreds of retirement secrets and tips.

Goodreads review by Michael on October 29, 2020

For me, much of his advice isn’t applicable. At 53 and already retired, I was kinda hoping he’d have some tips about how to improve my situation now and stay retired.
