This book isn't really about being cheap. While recycling is good, this book doesn't advocate using Wal-Mart bags for your trashcans, reusing coffee grounds, or taking advantage of other people's generosity. The ideas found within are designed to help you make your resources stretch a little further while avoiding, or escaping, the pitfalls of mass consumerism and credit card debt. This book is really about embracing a simpler life and learning to be grateful for the small stuff. Get tips on cheap ways to...travel, buy a computer, entertain, buy a car, decorate, plan a wedding, buy groceries, have a baby, find a pet, get a Master's Degree, buy clothes, help the needy, invest, and many more.
