Em, so glad i found your blog What a great post. As our family is about to expand and bank account contract i have been thinking about everything you have just said how important it is for me to have a home filled with meaning and not just “things”! It has inspired me to get out my sewing machine, knitting needles and really get my priorities in order.

Wow - i feel exactly the same way. I wonder what this says in terms of the larger transformation occuring in society - a shift away from so much consumption. I wonder that means for capitalism. jenx67´s last blog post..Go Somewhere New

You have said exactly what has been on my heart, Emily, but in a far better way than I ever could. I am so proud of you for getting to that place and I have discovered how good it feels to be there myself. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Hi Emily, I loved this post! I've found that living frugally has been the greatest way to stimulate creativity in myself. I feel the same way you do but you've said it oh so much better than I ever could! Happy Thanksgiving! Manuela the pleasures of homemaking´s last blog post..Happy Thanksgiving!

Here here, Emily!!!! I can so relate!! I am super excited about my move because I am DOWNSIZING. I am just looking forward to everything being simpler with less house payment and utility bills and maintenance, etc. Not necessarily easier...we will be super busy as always, but just having more freedom to live how I want to live with less financial burden. We've been on this "simplifying" journey for awhile but making this move is a big step for us. Thanks for the wonderful post and sharing your heart! It is great to see how content you are!

GREAT post! Really refreshing to read -- and so true. The benefits of being frugal extend far beyond the wallet. I find that living frugally has allowed me to live a more healthy and balanced life. Learning how to live without excess makes everything feel a little bit lighter. FruGal´s last blog post..Not-So-Personal Finances Part 2: Spending, Saving & Blogging
