How to Save a Small Fortune - And The Planet (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

There's never been a better time for us to start taking saving seriously.

Our hyper-meritocratic world has long glorified the notion of constantly earning more in order to fuel victory in some futile race to lifestyle and possessions. And so the careful saver was always the subject of ridicule.

Then along came COVID-19. Jobs disappeared overnight, and those who kept theirs could forget about pay rises any time soon. Suddenly, those who had a nest egg and knew how to stretch every cent looked clever.

At the same time, the global shutdown brought out hitherto wasteful ways into sharp focus. As with smart saving, nobody was cracking jokes about sustainable, responsible living.

Which is why now is the moment for champion saver (professional Scrooge, if you will) R.A. Dalkey to share an essential truth: a calculated approach to spending isn't just good for your bank balance, it's good for the planet too. It's the right thing to do.

Autorenporträt

R.A.Dalkey (nom de plume) was born in Cape Town, holds British citizenship and now lives halfway up a steep, wooded incline on the edge of Vienna. Since growing up in the euphoria of post-Apartheid South Africa and settling (Brexit-permitting...) in Austria at 35, he's lived in the USA, Australia and the UK.

An incorrigible dreamer, he's driven outback trucks in Australia, spent two years trying to be a professional golfer and slept rough everywhere from Monte Carlo to Siberia, visiting over 70 countries along the way. Including Ireland, where he cracked up every time he rode the DART train past Dalkey, and an author name was born.

As for the occasional bout of work, he's known to do his fair share of editing magazines and writing. His words have been published by GQ, Reader's Digest, The Sunday Times, Australian International Traveller, Reuters and Sports Illustrated, to name just a handful.
