Book Review: You Can Buy Happiness (and it's cheap)

Tammy and her husband, Logan, started off wanting a large house with the best things money could buy, but with credit card debt and school loans, they couldn't afford it. They decided to buckle down and get their loans paid off, but on the way took a trip to Mexico to help the Zapatistas. Tammy had been volunteering for the Mexico Solidarity Network to help earn money for their education and health care and she felt this trip would complement her volunteer work. This trip to Mexico was the turning point in her life. Living out of one bag and seeing how other people lived, opened her eyes to the excessive lifestyle she had been living and hoping for. This book follows Tammy and her husband's path towards a more simplified life to a smaller apartment, then smaller, then finally a tiny house. I thought the book was interesting, she gave a lot of practical pointers about sharing items, living without a car, downsizing, etc. Worth a read. 4 out of 5.
