but, I turned to two ladies who are authors on the subject, and them some, for inspiration.


Who are those ladies, you ask? Susan from Living Rich on Less and Cristin from Eve of Reduction.


susan

Susan is serious about creating a home on a dime, chocolate and cheese. But more than being thrifty, Susan has set out to edit her life to make room for the people and things she cares about most. Susan also recently released an e-book, called ” The Heart Improvement Project: 5 Tips to Help you Overcome the Obstacles in Your Live and Live the Life you Crave.”


cristin

Cristin is also an author, who recently published her book, *“Live Simple, Free and Happy.” This is a DIY lifestyle book that gives you tips for taking control of your time, money and home.
