The Triad of Hustling
5 months ago I was on the verge of burning out again. I got sucked right back into all my projects and had my head down grinding away as we do, when one day I look up and my son was there asking if I'd like to go on a "hike" with him. (And by "hike" he meant a "walk" down by the "river" which was really a "creek" :)) I told him sure thing and planned to be back within the
New Experiment: Buying All My Clothes Online!
Alright guys - I'm on a new mission over here! I've whined about this before, but ever since I've gone down this glorious road of minimalism and not shopping anymore, my wardrobe has gone completely from Rockstar to Vagabondstar and my clothes are literally falling apart. Here are the jeans I'm currently wearing: Notice the beautiful patches along WITH the holes :)
What Being Homeless Taught Me About Money and Happiness
[Got another great guest post for y'all today. This one comes from Lyn Alden, a newer blogger on the scene who puts out some great in-depth financial guides on her site. Today she dives inwards and shares a part of her own journey with us, and what she's learned about money and happiness throughout it. Hop on over to her site when you're done and show her some
“Maybe the life you’ve always wanted is buried under everything you own!”
Got another book recommendation for y'all! The More of Less, by Joshua Becker. Where that headline came from, and which should be the official bumper sticker of all minimalists, haha... "Maybe the life you've always wanted is buried under everything you own!" How good is that?? Similar to the book, Essentialism, I raved about the other month, this is another one that helps

Discover what it's like to live - and own - a hotel room, complete with costs, rental ideas, perks (spa, gym, restaurant, bar!) & other pros and cons to hotel living. [I am sooo excited to share this with y'all today!! I recently found out that Amnesty from Primal-Prosperity.com not only lives in a hotel, but also OWNS the
8 Ways to More Minimalist Money
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da Vinci The other day I got a note from one of my favorite minimalist bloggers out there - J. Becker from Becoming Minimalist. I was hoping it was a request to grab lunch or a beer, but it turned out to be the next best thing - an intro to a reporter looking for local minimalists to do a story on :) Now upon reading
What I’ve Learned After 5 Years of Self-Employment
5 years ago almost exactly I got laid off and officially became a full-time blogger. I remember it like it was yesterday because things like that completely change your life. It also completely changes your mindset, so I thought it would be fun to share some of the ways the old me thought about life/money/business vs. the current me :) You know, cuz I'm so much wiser
The 5 R’s of Not Wasting (MONEY)
Exactly two months ago today I stumbled across the fascinating world of No Waste. It hit me at the perfect stage when my brain was open and ready for more knowledge, and my desire for minimalism was ready to be pushed into overdrive. So on an emotional high I vowed to never throw anything away again this year! WOW! Okay, not really, haha - that was a lie - but I did swear
New Rule: List One Thing a Week on Craigslist!
I'm pretty excited about this one today :) I've been all about the "missions" lately on this blog and in my life, and while some fade away faster than a scalded dog, others stick around for the long haul and become absolute game changers. And I'm hoping/praying/anticipating this will be one of them! If there's two things I've really wanted to conquer lately, it's owning
