description: Are you ready to leave the rat race?Would you like to learn to survive without a job?Dear ReaderWe had to learn to live frugal during many lay-offs in the past but the clincher came when we lost half our income. Then we eventually lost half of our remaining income. That is when we learned a great deal about how to survive on less and how to enjoy simple frugal living.We knew it was possible to live debt-free. Our grandparents did it and their grandparents before them did it too. We stopped listening to the mainstream chatter on how to do things.We developed our own frugal yet comfortable lifestyle.In fact we were able to leave the entire rat race behind completely.In this guide you will learn to live on thousands of dollars less a year.Topics include:CreditUtilitiesFoodHousingTransportationGiftsClothingAlternative Sources of IncomeTelevisionCleaning Ideas &amp; RecipesPersonal Care/Hygiene Ideas &amp; RecipesThrift Stores &amp; Yard SalesHealthand moreWe have never been happier in our lives than we are right now living on a lot less money.
