Jeff Yeager is my financial hero

Check out the Yahoo/ US News and World Report interview with Jeff Yeager here.
To me, what this guy says just flat out makes good sense, (I am huge fan of his observations on truly green living vs conspicuous consumption of expensively green products.)

Also, if you have never read The Not So Big House , which he mentions, I highly recommend it.

I am not a big fan of running out and spending money on books to teach you to save money - seems counterproductive to me, but I might just give Mr. Yeager's book a gander at the library. From what I see in this interview, it would be well worth a read.
