Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day.

My go to exercise on this day is to use the self massage devices to relieve any pain points and muscle strain. I start with TriggerPoint brand hard foam roller made with a firm plastic core and only a little bit of padding on the outside. With this, I massage my lower back, glutes, hips, and upper legs.
Then I get a rubber lacrosse ball and massage the bottom of my feet. Lastly, I put the massage ball against a wall and massage my shoulders, upper arms, neck, and pecs. This helps me stay limber and loose in all the areas that tend to get tight during the week.
One key tip I learned from one of my physical therapists is in regards to knots and sore spots. The best thing to do is to hold the roller or lacrosse ball on that exact spot and press into it. At first, it will get more painful but then after 30 seconds the pain will get more intense. :)
And then after 30 more seconds the pain will start to ease and then after 30 more seconds the pain should go away to the point that you could have someone push you into the ball or roller and it wouldn't hurt. Then you know you've worked out the spot.
