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.

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. “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 like sewing. My life is high-tech, gadgets and add-ons and radio and email are constant. When I need to completely unwind I sew. Or read. Both are calm, silent, and with my hands. Just because it's 2008 doesn't mean I can't make a quilt with my hands like my great-grandmother did, or make my own dresses like my mom did. And even though there are e-books and blogs galore, I still like to lay back in bed with some PAPER between my fingers. I know as a 22-year-old, I'm labeled as the ".com" generation - and no doubt I spend more hours online than I do anything else on any given day - but I like to touch, to feel, to make. That's what I can do, and it's how I stay sane ;) Usually when I'm sewing I make correlations about all the information overlaoaded into my brain too, which I think makes me smarter :P Such a great post!

These are all things that I am definitely working on incorporating into my life - not only are they necessary for financial survival these days, but they are better for our planet, and it just makes me feel good. :) I love the feeling that comes with self-sufficiency, and not being reliant on others to meet our needs. When you learn how to do things for yourself, it gives you a tremendous sense of freedom. This post was linked from another blog I read, I'm looking forward to reading some more of your posts now. Thanks, Alissa Wow, terrific post!
