about this book

This book’s message is simple: No money? No problem! For many, the good life might seem like it’s awfully hard to reach. Not so! In this charming, lively and—most importantly—helpful book, readers learn how anyone, anywhere can live it up on very little. The tone is light and humorous, with hundreds of hands-on practical hints useful to students, artists, young parents, and anyone else who wants to save a bit of cash. Inside, you’ll learn tips for imbibing like a rock star on a folk singer’s income; travel hints that help you get around while just getting by; clever ways to entertain yourself on the cheap; easy tricks for looking like a million bucks without spending nearly that much; health wisdom that you don't have to pay a doctor for; a wealth of prudent parenting tips; and a whole host of home décor and maintenance tricks that’ll keep a roof over your head.

about the author

Whenever a grad student microwaves the last bowl of ramen, M.T. Pocketts wants to be there to offer recipe advice. Whenever a cash-strapped new parent ponders duct-tape diapers, he's there with a word of penny-pinching wisdom. Who is this mysterious master of thrift? Eyewitness reports have him playing blues guitar in small clubs, writing for newsweeklies so alternative they don't even have names, and volunteering anywhere a free meal might be had. His expertise is hard-won, and he's willing to share it for a very reasonable fee.
