In his new book, The New Frugality, the trusted personal finance reporter for Marketplace Money reveals a plan for a new economic reality where less is more. Using his signature style ? friendly, inviting and plainspoken ? Chris explains what the New Frugality is (and isn?t) and how to make frugality a habit. It?s not about belt tightening or penny pinching; it?s about buying quality instead of quantity, while staying true to your values. He offers down-to-earth, practical advice on each aspect of financial life: the frugal home (rent or own), saving for college, simple investing, wise versus foolish debt, even giving money away. The result: a lifestyle of less waste, lower environmental impact and more satisfaction.
