Simplify Life and Save Money, Time and Resources
In this simple living guide you will find money saving techniques, advice on simple frugal living, ways to help save money on groceries, as well as many useful links to other frugal and simple living sites.
Simple living is a choice being made more frequently out of necessity, with the economy being on the ropes as it is. The choices facing many families now aren't technically choices, and old skills and habits are being relearned. Having to make do with less, and make what we do have last. When given few options, people as a general rule can become very creative with what they do have, and learn to make do with it. Others choose plain and simple living from a more emotional base. Wanting to get back to nature and the land, or just de-clutter their lives and gain freedom from "things" we all seem to collect. If you are fortunate enough to know someone who lived through the depression in the thirties, talk to them about what they did to get by. You may be surprised at just how much you can learn. Even small children at that time knew what was going on, and remember it to this day. It is time to slow down, relax and enjoy our family and friends more, and our belongings less. You'll find creative, inexpensive ideas for entertaining, gardening, repurposing and many other basic skills no longer taught. There will be information on herbal and natural remedies that can be used, and instructions with recipes on making your own bath and skin care items naturally. Methods of growing and preserving your own food, without chemicals and giving back to the land you live on. Living simply doesn't mean having to do without, it only means scaling back expenses and letting your own creativity come shining through.
