Hi friend,

I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of our summer re-read of THE YEAR OF LESS! Something you’ll notice in these last three chapters is that I don’t write as much about the shopping ban anymore. Being 10 months into a 12-month experiment, it was more like a way of life by this point. But as I outlined in this chapter, I had also come up with a proper savings goal… for maybe the first time in my life!? And it fueled most of my financial decisions.

I didn’t have to think about not shopping, because I wanted to save as much money as possible so I could quit my job. In chapter 10, I outlined some of the thought-process that went into that decision. There’s always been more I wanted to say about this, but I felt too close to the situation. As we know, with time and age (and therapy) comes perspective. Apparently, it took a decade for me to figure out what feels good to share. I’m excited to dig into these last few chapters now…
