Releasing the bounds of Consumerism to live a life more simple in Nature. Releasing the bounds of Consumerism while paying down $85,000 of debt.
My family and I are like a zillion American families succumbed to superficial luxuries bought through credit. Once, we even cleared our credit balances. But we didn't clear out habit. So we plunged back into debt even further.
What happened then? Well, I woke up one day and decided I was going to fight to own my money. That my family was going to fight to own their money. We were going to live a better life this day forward!
This is a tale of our journey (July 2008) about climbing out of debt by tightening our money belt, letting go of the idealities of a consumeristic society, and finding what it means to live a great frugal life.
