How To Save A Small Fortune - And The Planet
You don't need to buy stocks or found a startup in order to build up enough wealth to sustain you through a crisis like COVID-19.
You may not even need a promotion. All you need to do is develop great spending habits.
With jobs disappearing overnight and an economic downturn lying in wait, there has never been a better time for us to start taking saving seriously.
But the current pandemic has made us think about more than just our financial survival, right? The global shutdown brought out hitherto wasteful ways into sharp focus. Nobody is cracking jokes about sustainable, responsible living in 2020.
Which is why now is the moment for champion saver (professional Scrooge, if you will) R.A. Dalkey to share an essential truth: sensible saving isn't just good for your bank balance, it’s good for the planet too.
And, as he already showed in Monte Carlo for Vagabonds, a calculated approach to spending is neither dull nor boring! In fact, it makes marvellous things possible…

About the author
R.A. Dalkey
6 books3 followersR.A.Dalkey (nom de plume) was born in Cape Town, holds British citizenship and now lives halfway up a steep, wooded incline on the edge of Vienna. Between growing up in the euphoria of post-Apartheid South Africa and settling (Brexit-permitting...) in Austria at 35, he's lived in the USA, Australia and the UK.
An incorrigible dreamer, he's driven outback trucks in Australia, spent two years trying to be a professional golfer and slept rough everywhere from Monte Carlo to Siberia, visiting over 70 countries along the way. Including Ireland, where he cracked up every time he rode the DART train past a town called Dalkey, and an author name was born.
As for the occasional bout of real work, he's known to do his fair share of editing magazines and journalism. His words on sport and travel have been published by GQ, Reader’s Digest, The Sunday Times, Australian International Traveller, Reuters, Autosport and Sports Illustrated, to name just a handful.
