Simplicity - a changing lifestyle
by Byron &. Catherine Pulsifer
There are many articles and books being written on simplicity or as it is referred to voluntary simplicity. It seems to be the latest craze of the baby boomers. We are all getting older and are getting tired of the endless work day, the demands on our lives by others, and we are searching for a a simple life - voluntary simplicity.
For us, simplicity was changing our lifestyle. The term "voluntary simplicity" applies well to us, as we were not forced to simplify, we voluntarily simplified our life. It meant giving up some things, but it has also meant that we gained a lot.
We gave up:
- job security and, more so, a weekly paycheck
- the house and the cottage
- the luxury of two cars in the driveway
