Beskrivelse
Once upon a time in America... Families had a healthy fear of banks. Car loans were uncommon, and easy credit was non-existent. Debt was a dirty word, and a second mortgage was an indication of financial distress. Fast forward to the twenty-first century. Most Americans carry more debt than savings. The average couple has little or no money set aside for retirement. The "have it all, have it now" mantra is propped up by easy credit, long-term financing, and no-down-payment mortgages.
Author Christopher Savoy's upbringing was heavily influenced by the financial practices of generations past. In spite of these advantages, career stagnation and debt caused him to reconsider his decision making paradigm. Cash Diet is a retrospective look at how he returned from the emptiness of debt and career mediocrity to find a fulfilling existence based on the values of simplicity, discipline, and contentment.
