About this audiobook

You have seen the thread: 'What name brand is actually worth it?' 'What frugal habit did you quit once you did the math?' Thousands of tips, almost no arithmetic, and no way to tell which ones are worth your Saturday. Frugal Living Math gives you the missing step: a simple check you can run on any swap, habit or cheaper alternative with your own prices and your own time. It is not a meal-planning book, not a debt payoff plan and not an investing guide; it is a method for deciding what is worth doing, and it never asks you to feel bad about what you spend or what you can afford. Inside, you'll learn: All examples use illustrative numbers, so you redo the arithmetic with your own, and no result is guaranteed. Keep what pays, drop what does not, and spend the rest on what you value without second-guessing it.
