Laying the Foundation

There is not a one-size-fits-all guru for you out there. Over the years I have read a swath of experts and thought leaders on minimalism, personal finance, financial independence, simple living, and healthy habits, incorporating some of their ideas and discarding others per my circumstances and priorities. Here are some of the resources you may also find value in as you start or continue on your journey toward independence and simplicity:
