I Have a Book Problem But My Librarian Disagrees with Me
Before I started my first no spend year in 2019, I swore that borrowing books from my local library wouldn’t work for me.

8 Things I Refuse to Buy as a Minimalist
Minimalists and millennials killed so may things over the past decade or so. I figured it was time to write a list of things that I refused to buy and likely contributed to their ultimate demise.
