Today Porter and I were hanging out with some friends and we got to discussing finances. One friend shared that her family was out of debt and had enough savings to live for 2.5 years. YEARS! I want that! When asked how she did it she recommended the book Your Money Or Your Life and then explained how she adjusted her relationship with money, stuff and savings. It took them 7 years, but they now have the freedom to figure out the life they want to live in a safe and comfortable way. The book is on my library book wish list and I’m going to start with #22.
