This site, created by a couple who have practised voluntary simplicity for over a quarter century, describes the principles behind their lifestyle. Far from being nutjobs, they come across as thoughtful, genuine people who have chosen to live their lives around the philosophy of "Time is not money. Money is worth more than time." They hardly ever buy anything new, instead they use cast-offs donated to them, or repair discarded items found from skips. They have at every turn learned the skills they need rather than paying someone else to do it for them. Before buying anything, they consider whether the item is worth more to them than whatever else they could have done with the time spent earning the needed money. If the answer is 'no', they don't buy it. more inside
