Sam Lustgarten on living a frugal life - SHP025

Sometimes I have a conversation that is so honest and open it floors me. Today’s episode is one of those.

Sam Lustgarten writes about frugal living, but he and I dive in to a whole lot more than that. 

We talk about how he fell into debt in college, and how spending money on stuff became a much-desired distraction as he moved through a difficult personal time. We also look at the first crucial steps that Sam took to start getting out of debt and live a simpler, more frugal life.

Debt can be such a shameful, emotional burden to carry around, but Sam shows how being honest, open and vulnerable can actually lessen the burden and free us up to pay it off (and keep it off). 

What I loved about this chat was that Sam never shied away from answering the tricky questions, and as a result I felt myself opening up and talking about our own issues with money and debt. 

Enjoy!
