Great post!

This was such a worthwhile post! And important for many to read. I love my voluntary simplicity but realize the difference from living in poverty. My choices have been to stay in an inexpensive rent-controlled studio apartment rather than buying a house, drive a 26-year-old car, forego cable TV and borrow movies from the library, wait in line for free movie screenings, etc. I also love my life! The freedom my simple living allows me is wonderful!

And I also have a Delonghi toaster/oven that's still working beautifully after 10 years.
