There is lots of trendy info on the internet about minimalism, about reducing waste, about organic food, about staying slim/fit/healthy, and about how to save and retire when we are still young. To me, these are not separate topics, but they are very much linked and have all been part of my life style for decades, to some extent. Many people in their 50s with a variety of earnings/income levels tell me they won't be able to retire for a long time, and most are very unhappy and stressed out about it. Maybe I can help out by sharing ideas in this blog.
My lifestyle is not extreme in any one way, except maybe in thriftiness. I own way too much stuff to call myself a minimalist. I am pretty green, but there's definitely room for progress. I eat organic food most of the time, but not always. I don't eat meat, most of the time. I am healthy, but I'm not a health nut. So what's my secret to an early, green retirement? A lifestyle that embraces all of the above trends, without going to extremes on any. It's all in the balance.
I will sleep on things, and figure out where to start with sharing ideas tomorrow.
Sweet dreams,
Anne.
