Publisher's summary

The Frugal Warrior

Are you one of those brainless sheep that accumulates all kinds of crap you don't need just because you saw it on sale at a store or on TV? Do you watch rap videos and wish you had a ton of gold jewelry, a sports car, a pimped out "grill," a giant house with a $1,000 monthly air conditioning bill, and a swarm of gold diggers twerking in close proximity to your face?

Or are you an aspiring frugal warrior, satisfied with a simple life, who feels a little piece of your soul get murdered every time you pull a plastic card out of your wallet? If you are, and you're sick of how bloated your monthly bills have become, this training manual will set you back on the path to frugal freedom.

Crouching Costs? Hidden Savings?

Many people try to save money by doing painfully mundane and inefficient tasks like clipping coupons or growing their own vegetables. But the big costs in life are where the real money is saved, saved most painlessly, and often these big costs lie in stealth without you even realizing it. On top of that, old-fashioned personal finance gurus often recommend archaic practices that could cost you a Ferrari worth of hard-earned money in your lifetime. For example, one of the most expensive things humans do is save money. In the book, you'll find out why.

Language unacceptable

Deleted due to language- unacceptable and unnecessary in a book giving advice to saving money!

Interesting

This has some good ideas and some thought provoking points, although in suggesting ways to save, the long term costs are not always well thought out (ie if you cut “expensive” fruits and vegetables out of your diet to save money and replace them with cheaper foods like noodles and butter it might save money now but the long term health costs are not insignificant). I guess I was expecting clever ways to save on business expenses rather than drastic lifestyle changes. Also, while I’m usually able to dismiss this authors vulgarity due to the humor and style, this time it was a little too much for my prudish preferences. Not going to return it, and I can use the ideas to save more than I spent, but wouldn’t recommend.
I liked the narrator, but this particular author’s outrageous style is more enjoyable and also more endearing with his own narration.
