Description
Ever wished you had more money at the end of the month? This book walks you through saving money in nearly every aspect of your life, from housing to groceries to entertainment.
We are a couple living in Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the most expensive cities in North America, yet our spending is well under $1500 a month. We do not sacrifice quality of life, but simply have an efficient lifestyle design.
We were featured on The Province, Huffington Post, and CTV's national news broadcast espousing the frugal yet high-quality life that allows us to do all the things we enjoy, but will also allow us to retire before we're 40. Nothing we suggest in this book requires any special ability or education; there is nothing stopping the average person from following most of our advice.
Maybe you dream of owning a home, or starting a business. Perhaps you'd like to raise a family, or escape a seemingly endless cycle of debt. Or maybe you're just tired of never having enough money to do the things you want. Regardless of what your financial goals are, the principles of this book can help you achieve them.
Much of this book discusses general ideas that are applicable in most cities. However, we also draw on our experiences over the last three years and give detailed, Vancouver-focused tips. We give specific, personally-tested advice on where to shop for groceries, the best neighbourhoods to live in, where to go for cheap/free entertainment, and more. If you are a recent arrival (or planning to immigrate) to Vancouver, you will find it especially useful, as you can be saving right from the start. No other book that we know of gives frugal advice specific to Vancouver.
Do you know what banks offer the highest interest rates, or the differences between the two biggest no-cost banks in Canada?
Do you know the best methods for tracking your spending and finances?
Do you know what grocery stores in Vancouver offer the cheapest price on paper towels, soy milk, tofu, or various other items – or the best ways to figure this out?
Do you know where to buy discounted tickets for shows and events?
If the answer to these questions (or similar ones if you are not from Vancouver) is no, our book will help you save.
