I have read "Five People you Meet in Heaven," have borrowed "One more Day" (not yet read) and still want to read this one. A SERIOUS goal- reading more- when my kids start school.<br /><br />I loved this post (and your 'financial one') and my husband and I went through this same exact process when I stopped working, and realized that we we're in a consumerism/spending frenzy. It is crazy, but it took a year to fully realize (after being on only 1 income) that we absolutely could not (and did not want to) live that way anymore. I could not express more how much more satisfying it is (just as you talked about- coupon clipping, discount shopping, not having to DO/GO/SPEND every second of every day. We just had a long talk this weekend with our son about why we now live the way we do and who we have become/what we have learned, etc.<br /><br />I can't wait to read the book!torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903591819503011886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382301657814799558.post-52581687832920049742010-08-02T12:55:43.108-04:002010-08-02T12:55:43.108-04:00I have this on my list of books to read as well!

It's funny; I watched an old Oprah this weekend about consumerism and "freeganism," and I was also inspired that less is more.
