What were some things you did when you were 15 years old?

Likely you were playing sports. Watching TV.  Playing video games.  But most likely, you weren’t on TV for couponing, right?

Well, today’s guest Jordon Cox was.

Today’s guest is now 19 and kicking butt in the personal finance industry and  is easily one of my favorite people in the world. He’s joining us from the UK. Jordon started couponing at age 15 as a necessity to help his newly divorced mom save money. He went on the tv show Extreme Couponing and took frugality to an entirely new level. He shares practical advice that anybody can use on the UK’s largest financial website Money Saving Expert. He’s also a writer for the popular site CentSai.

In this episode we talk about extreme couponing, why he doesn’t pay full price for anything, what frustrated him about the school system and consequently dropped out of school at 16, where to find coupons, how to organize them, and even why paying for a date with a coupon is the cool thing to do.
