Cheapskate

About the Book

This book finds some humor in how individuals cope on a practical level in the existing financial crises. It allows us to laugh at some of the coping skills we do not want to talk about. Readers will be able to see that cheapskate skills can be practiced by members of all financial classes. And, that sometimes the biggest cheapskates are the wealthy. Cheapskate can be viewed as a humorous survival guide for these financially troubling times. Or, it can be taken to an unnecessary extreme called Cheapskavery. Everyone must find their own balance.

The author hopes those who practice Cheapskavery out of fear can let go of shame and come out of the closet.
