Why? Perhaps you're into downsizing, the slow movement, voluntary simplicity, going green, being frugal, or simple living. Heck, maybe you're just trying to live through this New Great Depression (look, we know that they say "recession" to try and keep fear levels down). No matter your reason for altering your lifestyle away from living large, it can be hard to do - frustrating; at times, downright discouraging. Change is never easy.
I know. I love living a simple life, but that transition was very hard at times. And it took me a lot longer than I wanted it to take. Sometimes, it's not easy now. I wonder about the stability of the FDIC, for example, and what I should do proactively about that insecurity....
