Quick read
Reads like a series of unedited journal entries... but in a good way. The lack of structure keeps it honest and real as the author shares her ideas on frugality and experiences with saving money in her day to day life. Her decisions seem extreme (and not things I would do) but set up their life as they wanted. The major takeaway for me is to consider what I would live without in an effort to save money.

Slice of life
Interesting slice of life. I thought it would be more about managing the space itself. It's about the authors gratitude and view of her habits. And a detailed account of those habits. The key? "Putting away the first paycheck each month." An interesting account. I'll look for her YouTube channel. If you have a similar family structure the advice might be applicable. If you don't I'd categorize this as memoir.

Kate's best book yet
I think I have all of Kate's books and they keep getting better. Kate writes like she is sitting in your kitchen telling you how to live a creative and resourceful life. I feel like I have had a nice trip to California for a visit with her.
I can't recommend this book more. If you take any of her advice it will pay for itself.

Great book..What can I say?
Absolutely brilliant. Choc-bloc full of facts and ideas, and suggestions.
Packed with references and listed with details on how to live a frugal and simpler lifestyle
Love every second of reading and made sure to note references, whilst not being able to put down. I literally read in 1-go

A always a very worthwhile read.
I love Katie Singh's books. It feels like you are sitting at the table with her. She has so much wisdom. What I appreciate is she doesn't come across as being perfect or doing everything. I have learnt so much, now to put it into action!

I loved this book. It was such a gentle and inspiring read and a great reminder of the simple things in life and what we should focus our energies on. I will definitely reread this multiple times when I’m looking for inspiration to pursue a frugal lifestyle.

Another lovely read
I have been binge reading Kate's books, this latest one is great and so motivating. We are part of the F.I.R.E movement and so every penny counts.

Honest
Something you don't always read when people write about being frugal. She writes it like it really is and it is all very doable.

Some of it is practical and helpful advice, some of it is admirable if unrealistic, but overall it is a useful and inspiring example of one way to minimize and live a fulfilling life.
