In March, 2014, Liz and her husband made the conscious decision to stop their big city, big spending lifestyle and adopt a frugal mindset to realize their new goal of moving out of the hustle and bustle and into the woods.
Their 180-degree turn took them from dinners out every night to 66 acres in the woods of Vermont, where they happily raise their daughters and live the life they wantwith no stress, no financial strains and ultimate financial freedom in just over two years, by May 2016.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone curious about what it takes to make this lifestyle change.
