Very interesting. Told in a diary format. We all think we know how much we could save if we tried this experiment, but that's not really the focus of the book. A lot of interesting observations on modern life and consumerism. I was born in 1978 and it really fascinated me to hear from someone who lived through that time period in their twenty-something years.

Parts of this book kind of made me mad. Not at the author, but more from learning what life was like before crippling debt set in on everyone...
