Praise for The Cheapskate’s Handbook

“This book is fun. Whether you truly have some Scrooge in your DNA or not, it’s hard to take the Miserliness Aptitude Test . . . explore the Roommate Fee List . . . or read the “How to Avoid Taking Your Spouse or Significant Other to a Movie” chapter and not crack a smile. Or more. Lowe is irreverent, silly, and quite often over the top. . . . It’s a 2.0 edition, after all, so he gives you the cheapskate view on Uber, Lyft, Miley Cyrus, and more.” —Ryan G.
