The housing market currently, in my opinion is completely out of control. Aren’t you tired of paying so much for your rent? Don’t you want to stop paying someone else’s mortgage? Homeowner’s insurance, escrow balance, interest percentage, principal amount… so many different things you got to keep up with. I believe the solution lies within the concept of “Living with Less” (LwL).

Finally, we can break the cycle of working hard for a lifetime simply to have nothing to show for it in the end. Maximizing our efficiency, by minimizing our wastes, can perhaps give us the chance to start living instead of just existing. What a world that would be huh? I hope that all of you can take something positive from this essay, and perhaps join me on my journey, to live with
