Getting more confident with this book

This was a great book on living a minimalist lifestyle. The book is packed with money saving tips. Living minimalist has drastically reduced my stress.

Not as advertised

Wanted a book on Minimization methods.. instead this book was on budgeting. Not what I wanted.

Informative and simple to understand

I knew a lot of the things that were mentioned in this book, however I wanted to do some research. I enjoyed this book and finished it in 2 days. The topics were very simple and informative, any type of reading level could comprehend. It comes with PDF sheets for your convenience. Highly recommend if you are trying to cut some expenses and don’t know where to start.

Meandering and repetitive

The author didn't appear to have enough material for an entire book. A couple of chapters are complete filler -- I wasn't looking for tips on decluttering the house. The rest offer repeatedly the same vague platitudes on the benefits of beating debt with very few concrete steps to accomplish this.

Awesome!

Minimalist Living

This book has great information. For the first few minutes I thought the information was basic, but the further the book went on the more I learned from the suggestions the book offers.

The Audiobook showed me how dependent i am on money. Money that i “need” to pay for stuff that doesn’t add value to my life. Money that i know have to spend to pay off debt that i got into from things that didn’t really ad value to my life. Would defiantly recommend.
