I really appreciate this topic. (Although to look in my basement, you would never know it). I’m going to include it my round up this week. I could read about this topic for motivation all day! Best, Barb

Thanks Sam, I am still not 100% happy with the look… It’s been a slow transition over about 6 themes and continued tweaks though so a bit closer to making me happy (but I will never be happy really ).

Sorry I meant to reply about Egypt but i forgot!! It’s cool here, crazy but cool. Things are cheaper than I have ever seen and more expensive than I have ever seen…. same goes for most things, it’s the land of extremes! Generally though it’s a good place to save cash and get finances back in order and there are some really great things to see…. The people are very friendly too and this city is unbelievably safe from a crime POV.

I just started a new workout plan that is working me hard and my body is crying for some heavy food…. Just gotta feed it some healthy heavy and not fast food

Thanks for stopping by and thanks a million for Yakezie… My Alexa has improved by around 20K since I joined just a week or so ago!! Sun 200k here I come!

Hey Forest,

Love the design of your site and that cool Yakezie Network box you got! I replied to one of your comments and was asking about your experience in Egypt (is this where you are now?).

Looks like a couple new members of the Oda (clan) are coming to visit!

I really love eating too, to the detriment of my budget, and my waistline. Hence, I’ve really decided to take tennis seriously to counter balance my eating.

I’m going to get a piece of paper and write out some nonessentials myself! I think we’ll go to the Salvation Army and donate things away too

Cheers, Sam

Ahhhh awesome, I wondered what Muda was in your blog name .

Agreed, like I said, so many other areas to cut back in…

Thanks for stopping by

I was probably moved to write a little more on this subject because of 4hww…. strangely though my email keeps growing, I really need to get that under control!

I didn’t know about the tax worth thing…. That is very handy! I’m not a US Tax Payer but my partner is and she makes use of this when back home.

Great post. All of this "fat" is what the Japanese call Muda. But don't forget there are other forms of waste as well. Each in some way contribute to your finances. Waste of time, motion, transportation for example. Eliminate these and you have less cost or more opportunity to earn. .-= LeanLifeCoach´s last blog ..Combating the Closing Techniques – The Assumptive Close =-.

Great tips, Forest. I recently cleaned up my finances by cancelling recurring online subscriptions, letting magazine subscriptions run its course w/out renewal, etc… And cleaned up the work space, too. Total relief! I did that after I read the 4HWW.

But its also learning to revisit and re-clean and/or maintain the simplicity. Because we all know how fast one can consume things.
