There was lots of humor but very little in the way of nuts-and-bolts money management strategies.
One of my favourites was the advice to think of your shittly little apartment as a vila and you'll feel better, thinking it's a quaint little place in an exotic location.
I laughed with the author, it's good advice - to make the best of things and not to focus on things you don't have. So much of our problems stem from what our culture depicts as a success or "the way to live." There is no right or wrong way.
The title of the book sums up the focus - how to live a happy life on what you can afford. Don't go into debt, if you can help it. Chasing The American dream is a fiction.
It was a good book to read, but I wouldn't keep it on my bookshelf.
