I've been doing this for a long time now. I don't have a car or a TV or a job, for that matter. I save whatever I can for a rainy day, and when I have a treat, they are very special (a bottle of sangria this morning).

I've never been able to explain to anyone that I don't have to worry about what I say or how I am perceived because I might lose my job. I don't have to work myself to death (which is doubly hard for me because I have Aspergers).

Doing with less will help us with climate change and enable us to think more and enjoy more.
