Story
We are exhausted. There's so much to do, and way too much to buy. Whether it's through late night TV ads, social media, or other sources of influence, we seem to be addicted to buying and then storing things. Sometimes we consume with no regret and other times we realize that we're doing more harm than good to our wallets and our homes. It's a constant cycle - one that many are longing to break. Who wants their hard-earned money to go toward something that soon ends up in a landfill?

In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

Prob better to buy this one in print
It's more of a reference book so might be better in print. The narrator was way to listen to and I did gleam some ideas from listening along. It's a 30 day challenge.

Fine If You're Starting From Scratch
There's nothing new here if you are already committed to the cause. Very millennial and pretty basic. Maybe teenagers would like it, personally I couldn't care less about body scrubs.
