Living Well On Practically Nothing
There was very little good advice in this book. He offers a few recipes (for those not blessed to be raised by Depression era parents), but they lack full quantities (especially for the sourdough recipe "Mix a pail of batter from flour and water and hang it up in a warm place until it ferments. Then add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder) and one teaspoon of sugar, thicken with flour to a smooth dough, knead thoroughly, form as loaves and bake" Okie Dokie - how much flour to how much water? I can even guess, as he doesn't even say how many loaves this will make (or what size). Not very helpful.
He suggests dumpster diving, living in the wilderness, squatting, etc. He is homophobic (at one point suggesting Vermont is a bad place because (gasp!) they allow gays to marry). He is sexist (at one point he suggests that women who are living in the wilderness wear drab clothes and make sure that their hair isn't pretty (I guess to ward off would-be-rapist??? - Um, Yeah. Rape is an act of sexual attraction, not power and violence). He scoffs at liberal arts in college (heaven forbid people know how to think and research). His arrogant, uneducated, offensive opinions padded a great deal of this book.
What little advice that was useful was pretty much commonsense.
Read Jeff Yeager's books (the Ultimate Cheapskate). His books are less expensive, he is non-judgmental, he is funny and his advice is useful.
Skip Romney's out-dated, negative, offensive nonsense.
