I recently read about a family’s legitimate predicament and felt both sympathy and relief.
The husband was trying to sell the family SUV (it was a BIG one) in order to finance the switch to a smaller car but was having no luck.
Though I realized the family was stuck in a tough spot I also said to myself:
Very steep fuel prices may be what is needed to bring about positive and permanent change in the way many of us live in North America.
And how do many of us live?
High off the hog, with a heavy, unsustainable footprint, beyond our means, unaware of the consequences of our gluttony and the damage we cause to the life-giving ecosystem. (Many, but not all, do this.)
And now, how do people who are STUCK with the wrong dream car, dream home or dream survive?
Is there an easy way to switch from LIVE BIG to ‘live small and prosper’?
Yes and No.
