Hello I’m back in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
after living in costa rica for almost 10 years……
There you will learn the basics…..which seems like the
modern industrialized world has taken away from our
human instinct……I washed my cloths by hand….mine and
my son who was with me……yep even white socks!
I have just finished a memoir, with the years of experience
and tools one might like to know,,,,,,,on how to get back
to the basics…..Good luck to everyone in this economic shift
I’m so glad Costa Rica gave me back my instinct …..to make it here in the concrete jungle….I live the same way ……needless to say i’m saving myself a pile!!!!

I was just discussing this with my friend and decided to google the topic. Honestly put ” back to basics ” as the search.
With that being said, I agree with what you say. Life would be A lot less stressful if we went back to the basics. My parents raised me to be as simple as possible. But I know the excitment of being on my own pushed me a little farther than I should have gone. But I’m going to be 30 soon with a growing family and I want to go back to basics for health and peace of mind. Yay to all of you who want to as well. Maybe a movement needs to be started!

[...] Getting Back To Basics – I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can be more frugal and simplify my life more. What these things come down to for me, is simply getting back to basics. Just because it’s 2008, doesn’t mean I can’t strive for frugality and simplicity. In fact, maybe because it’s 2008, I should be striving for it more. Everything seems to be going up except paychecks. It’s time to settle down into doing things more simply and more cost-effectively around my home. [...]

“I still stink at cutting coupons but I love to challenge myself to save on electricity and gas. I can easily live without cable but don’t take away my internet! I love cooking but ask me to sew clothes and you’re in for it. We all just do what works for us.” – Lynnae, I feel exactly the same way about all of these things I love this post – I try very hard to “get back to basics” and just live a simple happy life. It works for me and for my family.

My husband and I are doing the same, and we’ve been amazed at how simple the simple life is. My perspective has really changed over the past year.
