Looking back on the theme of what's essential, I outlined the importance of what was essential in your home, food, clothing, transportation, health, healthcare, finances and resulting budget. In each of these areas, it’s important to identify what is most important to you then focus your efforts on those aspects that add the most value. What you will find is that there are a lot fewer purchases that really matter to you than you thought. Once you can narrow your purchases to only that which matters, you won’t be sacrificing your lifestyle, but will end up saving money that can then be relocated.
