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.

It's time to rediscover your local library. You may think they are becoming obsolete with the advent of streaming and ebooks, but you'd be wrong. They are very much with the times and are coming up with ways to capitalize on the latest technology to give you the content you want for FREE.
Instead of giving money to Amazon, Google, Apple, or Netflix for books, magazines, movies, music, and shows, check out if what you want is at your library. They usually have a way to search online and even check items out right from your computer or mobile phone. Then figure out what apps need to be used to access and enjoy all the free content.
My library here in Douglas County, Colorado uses OverDrive for ebooks and audiobooks, Flipster for magazines, Hoopla for movies, TV shows, and music, and also Kanopy for movies with a library that is six times larger than Netflix.
The other cool feature that my library offers is access to research products that normally cost quite a bit of money. For example, I can get full access to the Consumer Reports online database by logging in from the library's website. They also have access to free legal forms, investment research, business research, grants, academic research, and even ancestry research.
So do yourself a favor and get up to speed on what your local library is offering. You will likely be surprised, and you'll likely be able to save some money as well.
