“Behavioral economists have found that people tend to take mental shortcuts when they make financial decisions—so they end up spending as much time choosing a mortgage as they do a big-screen TV. Elisabeth Leamy’s wise book reminds us that we can save big by investing more time on major purchases—and shows readers step-by-step how to get the best value for their money. This book offers a much-needed road map through the world of ‘gotcha capitalism,’ junk fees, and dynamic pricing.”
