Brokenomics: 50 Ways to Live the Dream on a Dime

I'm marking it read, although I didn't actually get to finish the book. I went in thinking it would be practical advice about living frugally but it was more of a reminiscence coupled with folksy wisdom on random topics. I wouldn't say the advice was bad, a couple of bits stick out as quite solid (Don't carry credit card debt, take the plunge on a long foreign trip when young, others). But I felt like the book read more like a mildly interesting reflection on the author's life instead of practical advice. This was very different from my expectations, and also I don't like even themed autobiographies that much so I don't rate it very high.

The writing was fair, it doesn't feel too dated, but it wasn't what I was looking for.
