Meet the Frugalwoods: Achieving Financial Independence Through Simple Living by Elizabeth Willard Thames

informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

Meet the Frugalwoods is more a biography than the 'how-to-live-frugally' book I was expecting, but that actually made it a more enjoyable reading experience. I liked the reflections on why living a frugal life is about much more than just saving money. It's about appreciating the simple things, prioritizing life over work, diminishing the damage we do to the environment by our unbridled consumerism. The book is light-hearted, not preachy, and helped me look into the mirror and think about ways in which I can make new choices in life.
