About

Have you ever wondered what is it like to live without a car?I did. While my first experiences in car free living sprung from adversity they made me wonder: can you really live without a car in Small Town America?I researched car free living and made a sobering discovery. All of the books written on the subject covered larger cities and glossed over any potential pitfalls to the experience.I made a vow to correct this. There needed to be an honest book on the subject, so I made plans to eliminate my vehicle and immerse myself in the car free lifestyle for at least a year in order to write a book myself about the subject. After several years of planning and preparation, I did just that.Within these pages you will not just learn about my personal experience of living for over a year without a vehicle, you will also discover:* Advantages and disadvantages of the car free lifestyle* Is a car-free lifestyle practical with children?* Shopping without a car* Transportation emergencies* Transportation alternatives* Tips and tricks for making alternate forms of transportation work for you.And most importantly,* Can living without a car really save you money?This book is not designed to necessarily promote the car free lifestyle; instead it was written to help you make an informed decision if you have ever wondered what it would be like to live without a car in Small Town America yourself.I hope it helps. Everyone should live on less. When we simplify our lives we liberate ourselves from the mind-numbing struggle just to survive. I started out working four jobs as I struggled to raise my kids as a single mother but we never had enough but when I began combining minimalism with frugality my life changed. I went from working four jobs to taking summers off to spend with my kids. I even stopped working a public job entirely for a few years but it eventually got to be boring so I went back to work part-time. I live on less a month than many earn in a week but my bills are paid and the majority of my time is my own to use as I please.You can do it too if you want. Read my books to learn how.
