Episode 4: Saving Money on Your Household Bills with Joel Gibson

Wouldn’t it be fabulous to save stacks of cash without making any changes to your current lifestyle? In this week’s episode, I chat with Joel Gibson, a bloke with the inside track on the shortcuts, hacks and loopholes you can use to start saving this very afternoon. He’s the author of ‘Kill Bills’, ‘the bible for saving thousands of dollars on your major household bills’ and we discuss everything from why loyalty doesn’t pay to the sly consumer tricks the big companies use to keep you on board. Listen in to make sure you aren’t a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and find out how tricks like ‘The De Niro’ will ensure you are never ripped off again. If the Jan New Year’s resolutions didn’t take – here’s your chance for a Feb do-over. P.S. If you find this episode useful, I’d be delighted if you’d write me a nice review – Thanks!

Mr. Money Moustache written by a guy who saved a lot early and retired at 30. HOT TIP – ‘If you can save 50% of your take-home pay starting at age 20, you’ll be wealthy enough to retire by age 37. If you already have some assets now, you’re even closer than that. If you can save 75%, your working career is only 7 years.’

Thin. Rich. Happy (biased as it’s mine 🙂 Lots of useful stuff from understanding why you are (probably) still poor to learning how much money you (actually) need.
