About this Item

When it comes to money, many believe that to acquire more we have to spend less. The truth is that a mindset can lead you to miss opportunities for income growth and kill your dreams of early retirement. To live our best life we need to make smarter, not fewer, spending decisions. In Buy This, Not That, Dogen shares his strategies for building wealth, no matter how much money you have in the bank. With hard numbers and his signature straight talk, Dogen tackles splurging on takeout, owning one car for Dough and one for Show, the differences between 'good' and 'bad' debt and more.
