Low Cost Living Live Better for Less, Frugal Real Self-Sufficiency Live Better, Spend LessBeing frugal? Being thrifty? Being cost-effective? Being green?Or just being sensible self-sufficient?You Can Live The Good Life in Country or TownTimes are tough for most of us. Jobs aren t easy to find, unless you count zero-hour contracts that seem like a throw back to a bygone age where men queued each day in the hope of work. By the time you ve paid the rent or the mortgage, there s not a lot left for everything else.That doesn t mean you can t enjoy a great quality of life and a good standard of living. Our income has been so low at times we were below the poverty line. Yet we have never felt poor In fact, we ve felt rich. That s because we are frugal, cost-effective and self-sufficient.It s a philosophy of life that has served us well over the years. The three main legs of this way of life are:Being frugal or thrifty is not being mean, it s just sensible. Why spend on things you do not need and that will not add to your quality of life?Being cost-effective means we look for value for money or effort. Don t forget your time has a value! Buying cheap can often mean buying twice, but why spend more if you don t need to?Being self-sufficient means we do as much for ourselves as we are able to and enjoy doing. Paying others to do jobs doesn t make sense if we can do it ourselves. We grow much of our own and enjoy great food at low cost.A Practical Green Way of LifeOur lifestyle is not about theoretical and impractical green ideas that make little sense and cost a fortune. It s about real things that real people can do. People like us, living in a normal house, whether in city, town or country. Being frugal is a more sustainable, greener way of living.We re not eco-warriors but we have reduced our carbon footprint and we recycle as much as anybody reasonably can in our western society. For example, we grow much of our own food and cook efficiently, which reduces food miles and our energy use.It doesn t stop there, we ve reduced our energy usage dramatically, but that doesn t mean we don t enjoy modern conveniences, we do.Live Better for LessSo, we hope this web site helps you to enjoy life, get off the treadmill a bit more and maybe even wave the rat race goodbye.
