Awesome article Jeannie! Where can I find a local Buy Nothing group? Is it online or in person?

Love this post, thank you!! Great guidance on how to determine if something is worth putting, and super relatable too as a fellow first time mom.

Daniel, Your “why”— is so compelling . Our experiences shape our values and beliefs.

My story is very different, but we share some parallels– experiencing and living in third world countries. Having been raised most of my formative years in Latin America, the issues of poverty are deeply ingrained.

It has made me a better listener, less judgmental, care more about people and their problems and challenges. It has made me more able to understand another world view. I am very grateful for the privileges in my life. I hope that I can improve the lives of the people i work with in some small way– so that they too and appreciate the meaning of gratitude and the importance of our interconnectedness.

Thank you for sharing your story!

In reply to April. Hi, April! You are right, it depends on the scope. We'll email you directly to get some more information so we can give you a ballpark number. Thanks!

Hi. I subscribe to the YHL podcast and heard about you there. I’m curious about your services but can’t seem to find the cost anywhere on your site. I would imagine it varies depending on the scope of what’s being asked of you, but can you give a ballpark number/a general range?

There’s no way I’ll be able to convince my husband that this might be helpful for us if he doesn’t have an idea of how much it’ll cost us. If it matters, we live in Texas.

From personal experience – combining health insurance within 30 days was the biggest saver for us. I ended up in the hospital/doctor’s offices after our honeymoon from a blood clot that developed on a long flight. Had we not combined health insurance, I would have been paying much more seeing my insurance was less comprehensive at the time. Great article!

Great advice! My wife and I consolidated our renters and auto insurance and are saving hundreds every month. This was easy. We also consolidated our cell phone plans. This was not easy because the telcom industry is rife with trickery, but after about a month of calls and in store visits, we’re saving hundreds a month here too.

Thanks Dr. B!

How wonderful you are Daniel. I had no idea. I knew you wanted to help people but I had no idea there were such hard times. I am so happy for you that you achieved your goals and can live the life you want to live for yourself and your family. You’re one of the best guys I know, thank you for sharing your story! I can’t say that my job is connected to what I want to do, I am just doing it for salary and benefits and don’t really know what else to do that would make me enough money. But I do know for sure that life is short and I want to prioritize being happy over a career, and I really hate wasting time, because my mother survived cancer twice once when I was 4 and once when I was 17. So I lived a very different life for better or worse, lots of fear of loss still stays with me, but the need and urgency to make your life what you want it to be was ingrained in me from a very young age and I am happy about that. Unfortunately what my life is and what I want it to be are two different things right now, and my big attempt to fulfill that back when I lived in Australia in ’05 turned out to be the catalyst for years of debt, but at least it was and will forever be worth every penny. And I am out of debt now so that time is behind me. I guess whatever we have been through has shaped us and continues to be a valuable source of learning, so there’s that 🙂 Much love, Megan
