This is an absolute must if you really want to live a simpler lifestyle. Paying and managing bills, especially when you live paycheck to paycheck creates a tremendous amount of stress in many peoples lives. The first step here is mindset. I strongly recommend the two books mentioned below that are the two that I feel helped me getting started with this the most. Once you have the right mindset, then you can work on your household budget, decreasing any debt you might have, and of course saving more money.
The two books: "How to survive Without a Salary: Learning how to live The Conserver Lifestyle" by Charles Long and "Keeping it Simple: Sorting out What Really Matters in Your Life" by Gary S. Aumiller (affiliate link). In fact, I think it is important to mention here that the book by Gary Aumiller is the absolute first book we read on our journey to creating a simpler life:-) NOTE: not everything in each book applied to us, but it is was still interesting to learn what others are doing! |
