LIVING RICH BY SPENDING SMART How to Stretch Your Dollar and Get More of What You Really Want

A personal finance columnist shows how to spend less on the things we buy and to stop wasting money on what we really don't care about. Karp's voice is clear and enjoyable; he's both a humble teacher and an expert with total confidence in his material. His basic message is to spend more consciously and deliberately, rather than spending by accident or habit. With saving strategies on a broad range of staples like insurance, food, and phone/Internet plans, he shows how focusing on our priorities and improving our buying habits can make an enormous difference in the satisfaction we get from our money. This edition comes with a printed booklet listing the major ideas. T.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
