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.

We’ll also hear from WDFW’s “Citizen Science” program coordinator about iNaturalist technology. iNaturalist is a tool citizens can use to document wildlife sightings and track changes over time – in effect, become “citizen scientists.” The tool is currently being tested out for amphibian monitoring in King County. Would you like to see it in use in the Chehalis?
