We are a debt-free family living on one income in rural Southwest Virginia without feeling deprived. After paying off all our debt, we realized real freedom didn’t come from earning more; it came from needing less on purpose. We treat our home as an asset and use traditional skills to solve modern money problems.
Join us each week as we share the practical financial strategies, frugal habits, and ”inflation shields” that allow us to live a rich life on a small budget. If you want to escape the rat race and build wealth, you're in the right place.
