This is what my wife and I started doing years ago, and it finally culminated with her resigning her position at a financial institution (after over 10 years) and staying home to run our home (and small-holding organic farm).
Less can be more. Its sounds stupid and like something you'd see on a billboard, but it is true.
We shared ONE car for six years. This might sound normal to someone who lives in a city, but try living 20 minutes from the edge of town (while both people are employed full time)! When we moved to the rural countryside we bought a second vehicle, but hope our two vehicles will only need to be replaced one more time in our lifetime!
Consumerism. Its just a vile word to us.
