However, I hope this isn't just a trend that will fall off when the economy improves. Careful budgeting, and a commitment to using our precious resources for the things that are truly important, shouldn't just be a fad---it should be a way of life!

When my husband got a better job, I went way over board to compensate. For six years now, I've returned to the simple life. I love it! I'm so very happy to know there are so many people who are wanting to live more simply. This website and many others are a tremendous help! Thanks!

So much experience there to learn from. I wish I'd learned more about making do, rather than always assuming wanting more was the what I should be doing. Our parents parents were hardcore frugalites, and I know it's human nature to rebel away from your parents values to some extent but man I wish we'd kept that one. My grandma knew how to really cook! How to sew! How to make stuff! It boggles my mind a little bit when I think about all the household/domestic tasks I don't know. (Gosh, I really liked this post.)
