For may people, the idea of simpler living has a lot of appeal. Mother Earth News magazine www.motherearthnews.com has a great article on how to do just that in the October/November issue. It has expert tips from Wanda Urbanska, host of Simple Living www.simplelivingtv.net to work, spend and consume less. With some of these basic ideas, it's actually quite simple.
Try TV free living- save on the cable bill and reconnect as a family.
Consider one vehicle- the average person spends $8,000 a year to own, maintain and insure one vehicle.
Live below your means- and try to save 10% of every dollar.
Buy used- whenever possible take advantage of tremendous saving by purchasing gently used goods.
Choose local food- with food prices rising, you'll save money and it tastes better too.
De-clutter-more possessions add stress to your live.
Choose not-so-big homes- smaller spaces are less to heat, cool, furnish and clean.
