This book gives many ways for people to save money on their rock and roll
life-style.

The single best thing to do is to visit many websites as possible, for bands,
clubs, art galleries, etc, depending on your interests. While you're there, look
for freebies or other discounts, but sign up for their e-mail list. The vast
majority of messages received will be little better than spam, but there could
be the occasional gem with a subject line like, "Free admission and free
dinner." Forget clothing trends and visit your local thrift shop (the book even
tells the best time of the week to visit). There you can buy a few pieces that
can be mixed and matched, plus a funky T-shirt or two. Then you can go crazy
with accessories.

Have you visited your local public library? Aside from books (not just
bestseller fiction) they also have CDs, DVDs of classic movies, and talks and
lectures on a wide variety of subjects, all for free. Exercising to get rid of
your ghostly, all-night-partying skin color, is a really good idea, but you do
not have to spend a lot of money joining a gym. An effective, low-tech workout
can be done with regular, household objects, but the first step is getting off
your butt.

In the area of making money, if you have something autographed or unique, sell
it on eBay. Focus groups are fun and easy (after you are accepted, which is the
hard part), and the pay starts at $25 per hour. Become a house/petsitter, or
rent your place for movie shoots and commercials. Have you ever thought of
renting yourself as a designated driver for party people, or renting your body
to science by taking part in medical research studies?

This is a really eye-opening book. The best thing about it is that it is not
just for mid-20s slackers. The ideas in this book are for everyone, regardless
of age or lifestyle (who does not want to save money, if possible?). It is very
much recommended.
