It's OK To Be a Cheapskate?

There was an interesting segment on The Today Show this morning.  Host Matt Lauer interviewed Jeff Yeager, the author of a book titled "The Cheapskate Next Door."

Yeager talked about a novel concept for Americans these days - GASP... actually living BELOW your means!   His book suggests that it is, indeed, possible to conduct your life happy, comfortable and debt-free.

He includes a great quote from Will Rogers "Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like."

The book includes a number of tips that Yeager alleges could save approximately $25,000 per year.

Sounds like a good idea to me (particular these days!).  The book is available on Amazon.com for $9.35.
