Summary

Liz of Frugalwoods talks about frugal minimalism. This is part 2 of 2. Episode 2511: [Part 2] Frugal Minimalism: Do Less, Buy Less, Worry Less, Live More by Liz of Frugal Woods on How to Live Simply and Save Money The Frugalwoods are ex-urban, rookie homesteaders finding contentment (and a lot of chores) on 66 acres in rural central Vermont along with their two young daughters. They write about a wide range of topics, including their experience as parents, their adventures as novice homesteaders, and the financial decisions that made their life possible. Their philosophy is that managing your money wisely enables you to pursue unusual aspirations and opens up a world of options for how to live your life. Through the application of frugality–coupled with good incomes and judicious financial management–they have created a life that they love living every single day. It’s not a life beholden to consumerism or the drive for material perfection or the incessant clarion call for more.
