Cheap advice: Author of "Rancho Costa Nada" on how to not spend money:

'I'm as unambitious as a Buddhist,' Garlington said by way of explanation. 'I'd rather have leisure than income. I want plenty of time to ramble or lounge around with a book, and so don't wish the constraint of a schedule or an overseer.'

"My strategic goal is not to better the planet through reducing my share of smudge, although it's true my thumbprint is small," he said. "My goal is to avoid compunction by not working very much for others."
