Would you like to start taking charge of money?
Money and everything related to it is the foundation of getting financial freedom. But, our modern society only talks about money from the perspective of earning more, owning more, and doing more just to be able to live a happy life.
In reality, happiness does not depend on the amount of money you earn. If you spend 40+ hours doing a job that does not fulfill you, you may not find joy in it.
True financial freedom is knowing you have enough. It comes from getting smart about money and creating a system to:
- Make money through your skills
- Save a portion of what you earn
- Invest for the future and your lifelong dreamshttps://consciousdebtfreelife.com/10-things-you-must-give-up-to-move-forward/
- Spend mindfully on needs and occasional wants
You don’t need to be very rich to find peace and joy.
Focus less on chasing wealth and more on being financially independent.
Focus more on building financial skills.
Learn how money works and take control of your finances.

About me
Hi, I’m Dee – An Aspiring Minimalist On The Road To Financial Freedom.
I document my passion for simple and frugal living on this blog with the hope that you get inspiration to embrace a slower lifestyle.
On this blog, I share my adventures in saving money through:
- Frugal recipes and meal plans that keep our grocery budget under $250/month
- Clever ways to declutter and organize home
- Smart strategies to pay off debt and grow wealth
I’m a lazy housewife with big dreams of retiring early in my family’s homestead.
In my early 20s, my mom (retired banker) helped me get started in real estate and stock trading.
I continued doing that while doing a full-time job in Management Consulting. It helped me save 40% of my take-home pay.
After getting married, we realized we shared a passion for simple, frugal living.
While we’re not extreme minimalists, we find joy in conscious spending, making do with less, and getting out of debt.
We’re building multiple income streams through online businesses, so we can gain more freedom and flexibility.
Our goal is to retire in our 50s to a sustainable, self-sufficient homestead.
This year we are working on saving $10,000 to grow our Emergency Fund.
This blog keeps us accountable on our journey. I’m honest about our successes and slip-ups along the way.
If you want to get out of debt and create financial freedom, without depriving yourself, join me!
Let’s encourage each other to spend mindfully, save aggressively, and enjoy the simple things in life.
