Being Prepared For Emergencies

I feel it is important to be prepared in case of an emergency. Food storage and other essentials are important. But if you are on a limited budget, or do not have a lot of space, do not despair. You can begin building your food storage and emergency supplies a little at a time. One company I have dealt with and have a fantastic range of products is Emergency Essentials. They have online and catalog sales along with retail stores in Northern Utah. You can see more about them at:

The Poverty Living Beginners Guide.

Though I do not intend to live in "poverty" on my quest to simplify and downsize, it does make perfect sense to learn to live on less... I have come to learn money isn't everything and the pursuit of it via the rat race is a waste of a good life. You get so busy living and chasing the almighty dollar, that you forget to stop and really live life.

This is a Kindle book written by the daughter of a very close friend of mine. It is well worth the 99 cents to purchase...

You don't have to be expansive to live large...

I thought this was a very nice use of space that may have gone unused. It just shows how one does not have to have a huge domestic space to live large.

Mission to downsize book collection...

In my effort to begin to simplify and downsize, I realized I owned far too many books. I love books and reading! So, I decided to purchase a tablet. I bought it on Monday of this week and absolutely love it! I bought my first e-book from Amazon.com Kindle Store last night, for a whopping .99 I got the Samsung
Galaxy Tab 2 7". Here is a link that reviews it.

Acting Vs. Buying Green.

Have you ever considered the difference between acting green and buying green? A lot of energy is wasted in homes on showering, lighting, cooling, using the bathroom and doing laundry.

The College Conspiracy...

So you want a good and prosperous life? From elementary school through high school we are sold a bill of goods that says without a college degree you will never amount to anything. This is utter bullshit, do not buy into it! Look at the greats that left college, chased their dreams and passions such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg who all left high level, upper crust universities and made it on their own as self-made men. I am not anti-education, but I will not be a wage slave for my home nor education anymore. Our modern system has become absolutely insane! Check out this video.

Seriously consider this, do you want to work the rest of your life for a mortgage or education? Not me my friends...
