Summary

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, the official "Savings Expert" for AARP shares with readers hundreds of retirement secrets and tips, including: How to Simple-size Your Way to a Better Retirement; The 20 Secret Cheapskate Principles for Retiring Comfortably on Less...Maybe Even on Social Security Alone; How to Survive the Medical Maelstrom (without resorting to DIY surgery at home); Plus Dozens of Fun Ways to Both Earn a Little Extra Income During Retirement and Painlessly Cut Your Expenses.

Get your head in the game

What did you like most about How to Retire the Cheapskate Way?

Simple, realistic actionable advice.

Any additional comments?

Although it is US centric, there is enough here for the UK listener. I retired at 46, three years ago and had already put into practice many of the principles to do so however still do not regret listening to the book.

For anyone at an earlier stage of their life, or without particilarly good financial habits, I'd say it was worth the investment of time & money.
