Hunt knows how to live on the cheap, and she's proud of it.

In a chipper, conversational tone, Hunt explains how she became a cheapskate, what readers need to do in order to become cheapskates themselves, and how following her advice will help them achieve financial freedom.

This is an uncomplicated guide squarely aimed at helping those in tight financial straits.
