While waiting in the doctor’s office, I read the May 2010 edition to the `RealSimple.com – Life Made Easier, Every Day` magazine. The magazine has lots of good recipes. Each photo is VERY well presented. I especially love the texture of each page.
On page 232 and at the last section of the article, I learned about STARTING OVER.
Home, Sweet 351-Square-Foot Home
By Kristin Appenbrink and Bess Hochstein
How a couple lost all and learned to live (happily) with less than they’d ever imagined.
`Surviving the tragedy of the fire aged our relationships but in a good way,` she says.
My grandfather always said, `Find a woman you could survive with in a foxhole.` says Natale.
The story was about a couple, Ren and Natale. They lost everything to a fire but rebuilt and lived in a small cottage about 351 square feet.
This is what I mean about people getting in and over their heads about paying an expensive version of a rent (or mortgage). In an instance, everything could be gone.
If only people learn to live simply and modestly, that’s all that is important – to have each other.
