Summary
Do More, Spend Less by Brad Wilson, the founder of the moneysaving website Brad’s Deals, tells Wilson’s personal story of how he became a deal machine, including amassing five million frequent-flyer miles and taking five star vacations for little cost, and also gives lots of practical tips on on how to get the lowest price on just about anything.
Quotes
“I paused to appreciate the moment. We were flying in international first class to a five-star hotel, enjoying a no-expense-spared two-and-a-half week European vacation with the finest services and amenities. The trip, had we paid cash, would have cost more than $50,000. Our cost? Zero. What a life! I just knew I had to tell everyone else how they could live this way.”
My Take
I needed a new audio book to listen to and saw Do More, Spend Less on my local library’s shelf. Since I have recently gotten very interested in personal finance and travel hacking, I decided to give this book a shot. It was okay, but could have been a lot better. Way too much content about Brad Wilson and not enough about timely ways to get great deals. If you want a guide guide on how to travel for lower cost, check out thepointsguy.com.
