Knowing exactly what you want at such a young age is so great. Knowing that simplicity is the path you want to be on must be so exhilarating for you. Congratulations and good luck with all your simple plans.

Hah! I keep trying to convince my husband that we need to live in an RV–although it’s probably not as fun with two as when you’re single. I am actually getting tired of moving, but we just don’t seem to be able to settle down . . .so I’d prefer to just move my home than keep switching apartments.

Good for you with paying off your student loans this year. Excellent work!

Fox’s situation right after college is what got me started on the frugal/simple path. It was a HUGE wakeup call to be on my own and struggling to pay bills. Those months of borderline poverty (I could only afford $75 a month to eat) changed my life completely. I wish young people didn’t have to go through these tough times, but it happens. What if the energy, youth, and enthusiasm of college grads could be utilized in productive ways, instead of hopping from Mom’s nest right into $24k of student loan debt? That’s a topic under my skin! In any case, living simply is the way to go. Yay Fox!

It is wonderful to be so wise so early on in life. Sounds like you are able to do as you please and not have to worry and that is worth all the $$$ in the world, to me. Thank you for the inspiration.

How fantastic! Wish I had been as wise at your age. Good luck with all your future plans. I do hope you have all the pesky loans paid off as per your plan. It is so fabulous to be debt free. That one freedom leads to all other freedoms. Another thing I wish I had discovered years ago!
