National Library/Money Smart Weeks

Jeff Yeager, the "Ultimate Cheapskate"
‘Cheapskate’ Author Jeff Yeager, Financial Advice Programs, Shred Day Scheduled
The Coeur d’Alene Public Library will be your main source for financial advice during National Library Week, April 9-15, and Money Smart Week, April 23-29.
Patrons visiting the library can enter to win a Money Smart gift basket, including a financial-planning binder.
A highlight of Money Smart Week is a presentation by author and TV personality Jeff Yeager on Wednesday, April 26, at 7 p.m.
Yeager spent 24 years as a CEO and senior executive managing national nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., before launching his current career as a freelance writer, public speaker, and media personality in 2004.  First dubbed the “Ultimate Cheapskate” by Matt Lauer on the NBC Today Show where Yeager occasionally appears as a guest correspondent, he specializes in an offbeat blend of original humor and practical advice for living a better life by spending and consuming less. 
He is the author of four popular books about frugal living, including his most recent, “How to Retire the Cheapskate Way.” He is AARP’s official Savings Expert, writing for AARP’s publications and hosting a weekly web show on YouTube – “The Cheap Life”  – which is also produced by AARP.  He has appeared on more than 500 radio and TV shows on most major networks, and was an original cast mem
ber on TLC’s hit reality show “Extreme Cheapskates.”
He lives in Accokeek, Md., with his wife, Denise, and his beloved compost pile, Gomer. His website is www.UltimateCheapskate.com.
Yeager’s presentation is made possible by a grant from the Friends of the Library.
