Frugality & Frugal Fun Consulting

Spending too much?
Not having enough fun?
Shel Horowitz can help.

As the author of The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live Like Royalty with a Peasant's Pocketbook, Shel is the world's acknowledged expert on how to have fun cheaply. He has spent over 30 years in the frugality and simple living movement, and can help you find ways to cut your budget and increase your ability to find joy and pleasure in your life. Shel can help you...
  • Examine your routine and non-routine spending to look for savings
  • Learn ways to hold down the cost of the things you really enjoy
  • Focus your career goals so that you are working smarter, not harder
  • Develop an "Abundance Consciousness" (not to be confused with the oft-cited "prosperity consciousness")
  • Create a customized resource list of books, articles, and online resources to help you take the next steps in your own individual journey toward a happier, more fulfilled, and more financially stable life

Shel is also happy to speak to your group about finding satisfaction in frugality, and that frugality is not deprivation—that you can live really well and enjoy a very high quality of life, if you break yourself of poor spending and monetary habits.

What does it cost?

To make it as affordable as possible for people struggling with money, Shel offers individual consulting at $75 per hour—a deep discount from his hourly rate for marketing consulting and copywriting.

It may seem ironic to pay such a fee, but it is in keeping with Shel's own practice of the third bullet point above—that by making a living wage, anyone can enjoy a higher quality of life and have more non-work hours. After all, would you want to work with him if he didn't "walk his talk"? And it's toward the bottom end of typical fees for traditional financial consultants, who might help you figure out how to budget and invest, but who forget how to plan for a life filled with joy.

Consider this. If you invest between two and five hours in Shel's consulting services, and you're able to save thousands of dollars a year or bring your career to a new, higher level, aren't you worth that small investment?

Speaking fees are set individually depending on the group, the venue, the time commitment, and various other factors.
