It's interesting that you say that. I am seriously considering doing something similar.
I've realized recently that I can about halve my rent if I am willing to rent an apartment with other people, and given that rent is my single biggest expense that would have quite an impact...
But to do that I would really have to change how I live. I'm pretty used to having my own space...
- Mz 17y agoYou might consider picking up a few books (possibly used or from the library) with titles like "How to live without a salary" by Charles Long or "The Tightwad Gazette" series by Amy Dacyczyn or "How to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and live prosperously" (I don't recall the author). I read stuff like that years ago and was a homemaker for many years when most folks in America today think a family cannot live on one income. I had to get divorced to really escape the rat race of conventional life. But in some sense I have been laying the groundwork for my current lifestyle for decades. Good luck.
