Story
If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff - the latest, the newest, the best yet - is all too often peddled as the surefire route to happiness. So why then, in our consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even, worryingly, the very young?

Spending with abandon and ignoring bank statements were her modus operandi. Just because she wasn't in serious debt apart from her massive London mortgage, she thought she was in control. She wasn't. Something needed to be done ,but rather than cut back here and there, Michelle's approach was more radical.

It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.

Summary
The deeply personal story of why award-winning personal finance blogger Elizabeth Willard Thames abandoned a successful career in the city and embraced extreme frugality in order to create a more meaningful, purpose-driven life and retire to a homestead in the Vermont woods at age 32 with her husband and daughter.
In 2014, Elizabeth and Nate Thames were conventional 9-5 young urban professionals. But the couple had a dream to become modern-day homesteaders in rural Vermont. Determined to retire as early as possible in order to start living each day - as opposed to wishing time away working for the weekends - they enacted a plan to save an enormous amount of money: well over 70 percent of their joint take-home pay. Dubbing themselves the Frugalwoods, Elizabeth began documenting their unconventional frugality and the resulting wholesale lifestyle transformation on their eponymous blog.
In less than three years, Elizabeth and Nate reached their goal. Today, they are financially independent and living out their dream on a 66 acre homestead in the woods of rural Vermont with their young daughter. While frugality makes their lifestyle possible, it's also what brings them peace and genuine happiness. They don't stress out about impressing people with their material possessions, buying the latest gadgets, or keeping up with any Joneses. In the process, Elizabeth discovered the self-confidence and liberation that stems from disavowing our culture's promise that we can buy our way to "the good life". Elizabeth unlocked the freedom of a life no longer beholden to the clarion call to consume ever-more products at ever-higher sums.
Meet the Frugalwoods is the intriguing story of how Elizabeth and Nate realized that the mainstream path wasn't for them, crafted a lifestyle of sustainable frugality, and reached financial independence at age 32. While not everyone wants to live in the woods or quit their jobs, many of us want to have more control over our time and money and lead more meaningful, simplified lives. Following their advice, you too can live your best life.

Horrible start, wonderful ending.
The first three chapters almost put me off this book completely, they come across as braggy and sometimes snobbish. But I'm very glad that I stuck with it to see the softer and kinder side of the Author. I also ended up learning a few things from this lady. I'd be very interested in a follow-up story if she was ever interested in writing one.

Disappointing.
Might be useful if you're middle class and in debt. Not really a frugal book, more a story of well off people being sensible. If you're on a low income there is zero information that's useful, unless you have no knowledge of being frugal at all. Even then there are many more useful books than this one.

Interesting and alternative
I’m always interested to hear stories from people who are living a little differently from the norm. If you’re craving something a bit different from your life, this an interesting and sometimes emotional account of the impact that frugality had on this particular family. It certainly made me think about aspects of my life and wether or not I’m living up to other people’s expectations or maximising my own potential happiness. It’s an enjoyable and thought provoking book and I would certainly recommend giving it a listen.

Interesting, insightful and enjoyable
I found this audiobook easy to listen to.
The story flowed nicely sharing the transition from conventional lives of two young people starting out through to a family living a content life of “enough”.
The degrees of frugality and saving may not seem achievable to everyone but it does highlight the possibilities that can be realised through determination and the mindset.
I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to start living a more fulfilled life restoring the balance of enjoyment and happiness.
You can take ideas and suggestions from this book and apply them in your own life, even if you don’t desire to live on a sixty acre homestead in the woods!

Found this to be an enjoyable, thought provoking book, with a good narrator. Interesting hearing Elizabeth’s story. Agree it’s not going to be for everyone to quit their jobs to live on a homestead, but the author concedes this herself. For the one star reviewer, I don’t think it’s fair to downgrade this book, you judged it by its cover.

Loved the audiobook. I have been a long term reader of the blog and enjoyed learning more about Liz's back story. As a mom, of similar age to Liz, expecting baby number 2, being frugal will enable me to go back to work on a part time basis. Reading the book and the blog strengths my resolve to do this and gives me confidence that I can do this.

Self-congratulatory, pollyanna garbage
Actual tip in the book: if you're spending $300 on yoga, don't.
More spoilers: buy a $450k house in Cambridge mass as a source of rental income. Then you can quit your job!
Hang your clothes to dry, watch your thermostat and - gasp - use Craigslist for furniture.
There is absolutely nothing radical in here that you can't find in a quick Google search or common sense.
Plus the first 2/3 is fully a irrelevant personal history about the author's early career search.

millennial discovers the world
A thoroughly bizarre and condescending exploration of how to 'budget' and invest by someone with tons of money. wide-eyed discoveries included that you don't have to buy all your baby stuff new and that you an omit vanity purchases. Offensive for its stupidity, arrogance, and egomaniac.

Oh my goossshhh the back story is killing me. It goes on and on and on and on and oooonnn . The information is good for ppl that have absolutely no money sense— but it’s mostly just common sense? I was hoping to get some cool money life hacks out of this book but all I’ve gotten is a life history lesson on the author.

More of an autobiography than finance book
Downloaded this because I heard great things about their story from a few podcasts and thought it would tell the story of how they became financially independent. I am not a follower of their blog, so I don’t know or care about the frugalwoods personal lives per se, but wanted to hear how they achieved FI. After a few chapters of listening to what was more of a personal journal entry about college and moving to New York, getting jobs, etc. I grew bored. I started skipping ahead chapters in hopes to get to some meatier info, but a few chapters in and I learned very little and stopped listening. Maybe it picks up later but if you’re interested in learning more about FI I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Good narration, meh story
We get it...you feel privileged....move on. While this story of frugality at its extreme is somewhat interesting, it is frequently punctuated with how privileged the author feels. Her tirades on the subject are lengthy and in some instances feel more like a force-fed sermon aimed at making the reader feel the same way. To be honest my head hurts after being browbeaten with the subject. The rest of the author's story is interesting and written very conversationally, and is read in a way that makes this book very easy to get through.
