I'm bumping this to the top, since I think that this is a very important topic, and to mention that The Tightwad Gazette Volume 1 was a great find in my hometown library years ago.
I was reminded of this by R. Ranson's write up about rationing and link to the
Free and Frugal Soup permies thread in Paul's Dailyish Email today.
I also wanted to recommend Charles Long's book: How to Survive Without a Salary: Learning How to Live the Conserver Lifestyle.
Long also wrote a very good book called The Stonebuilder's Primer. I highly recommend this book also, as it gives anybody the mental tools to get started as a real stonebuilder.
Both of Long's titles are worth the read, if only to be be touched by his infectious enthusiasm for his lifestyle, which has thousands of lessons in it.
Kind of reminds me of Living the Good Life, by Helen and Scott Nearing, which I am currently re-reading.
Enough. I hope others are also inspired to live and act frugally and simply.
