Follow her on her blog as she adjusts to a reduced income and discovers alternative ways to define wealth.

In April 2006, Trent Hamm went through a complete financial meltdown. He threw himself head first into trying to figure out every nuance of fixing his financial situation, and after a few months he began to get the picture. Within eight months, he had paid off all of his credit card debt, paid off his vehicle, and also established an emergency fund. Since he has a passion for writing and he had learned so much about how personal finance really works, he established The Simple Dollar near the end of 2006 to tell the world about what he had learned and to help people who were struggling with the same things.

The Simply Enough Blog is maintained by Tabita Green. Tabita explains the purpose of her Blog as follows: "The purpose is to write about my own simplicity journey, sharing tips about simple living, and raising awareness about global poverty. My primary motiviation for striving to live simply is to only take my share. It grieves me that we have enough food for everybody, but that a billion people are on the brink of starvation. Of course, there are many beautiful side-benefits of this kind of life: more time for the things I enjoy, less stress, and saving money."
