At the end of the essay, Fitzgerald is not just broke, he's in debt. How to Live on Practically Nothing a Year is a follow up piece to How to live on $36, 000 a Year, where Fitzgerald spells out more faulty thinking on living the high life, and stretching a budget. After finding themselves broke and struggling to make ends meet, the young Fitzgerald's are given the idea you can live cheap if you live abroad. Once the family settles in and are able to live the simple Riviera life, Fitzgerald gets to poke more fun at himself. Not only is he unable to economize, he is unwilling to give up his American comforts. It is a delightful insight on Scott and Zelda in the Riviera.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.
