3. Meet the Frugalwoods : by Elizabeth Willard Thames

This is a personal story of how a personal finance blogger Elizabeth Willard Thames abandoned a successful career in the city, and embraced frugality to create a more meaningful, purpose-driven life. In less than three years, Elizabeth and her family are financially independent, and living out their dream in the woods of rural Vermont. While frugality makes their lifestyle possible, it’s also what brings them peace and genuine happiness. They don’t stress out about impressing people with their material possessions, buying the latest gadgets, or keeping up with any Jones-es. While not everyone wants to live in the woods, or quit their jobs, many of us want to have more control over our time, and money and lead a more meaningful, simplified life.
