Summary

I’m pretty sure everyone listening will want to either get out of debt, reduce the amount of clutter in their life, crush other financial goals, become healthier and happier… OR, why even choose? Why not select: d - all of the above?! That’s because that was the outcome of our guest today, Ashlee Piper, who documented her journey in her new book No New Things: A Radically Simple 30-Day Guide to Saving Money, the Planet, and Your Sanity. Ashlee is a political strategist turned sustainable living expert who has shared her message as a professor in Chicago, on Good Morning America, to her TED Talk, & everywhere between. We discuss the data and how much time we spend shopping or the time taking care of the items we’ve purchased, why she recommends making a “Love List” and how that curbs spending, the vital role our community plays in avoiding new things, utilitarian reasons vs emotional stimuli to purchase, and plenty more in this episode!
