Talk: A Cheapskate’s Road Map to Happiness @ Aberdeen Timberland Library
Apr 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Jeff Yeager is “the Ultimate Cheapskate.” NBC TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer said so. Even before becoming a darling of national media, when he ran nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., Yeager was famous for skinny budgets and impressive outcomes. In those days he called himself a “Titan of Tightwads.” 
Yeager has created a lifestyle that allowed him to retire at age 46.  He continues to live a rich, happy life, doing exactly what he wants to do. Thank goodness he loves to share his secrets with the rest of us.
