Why 47% Less?
After looking at our busy schedules, the hurry to be everywhere while not being fully present. As a family, we knew something had to change.
And the first step was to reduce my husband’s working hours, but with that came a reduced income. 47% to be precise.
That’s how this journey began. Not through drastic life changes, but through small, thoughtful adjustments that simplify our everyday life and our budget.
I’ll be sharing with you our journey to reduce our expenses. In the process, this has turned not into a limiting experience but into an opportunity to simplify our lives and have more joy.
You’ll get a review of what we’ve changed, how we prepped for the decision, and what we’re still working on, and I hope that reading our journey of small steps will encourage you to take action.
