The deeply personal story of how an award-winning personal finance blogger and her husband abandoned successful careers and embraced frugality to transform their lives and achieve their dreams.

Meet the Frugalwoods is the inspiring story of how conventional young professionals Liz Thames and her husband, Nate, realized that the mainstream path wasn’t for them, crafted a lifestyle of sustainable frugality, and reached financial independence before turning 33. Today, they are living their dream as homesteaders in the woods of Vermont where they pursue a more meaningful, purpose-driven life.

Their frugal methods, as described by Liz in this book, aren’t born of deprivation and hardship, but rather of a conscious decision to joyfully live far below one’s means. Thames believes frugality isn’t about what you’re giving up, but about what you stand to gain through the freedom of a financially secure lifestyle.

While not everyone wants to live in the woods or quit their jobs, many of us want to have more control over our time and our money, and to lead a more fulfilled existence. By following Thames’ advice, you too can live your best life.
