I fully thought this book was going to teach me how to be minimal, spend less, and be more mindful. While that lesson is in here it is not in the “do this and you will be like me” way that some other books come off. She tells the story of her year long spending ban and the lessons she learned along the way. In the end she does offer tips to form your own and get through it as well but the focus is her journey.

I partially take the blame for not looking more into this book, as I expected it to be more about minimalism. This book could be a great read for people who are addicted to consumerism and need something to relate to.

This is awful. I’m a pretty relaxed reader, but I regret spending money on this book.

Overwhelmed with redundancy and frequently touches base. This is a self help book under the wrong category
