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.

Grades were a huge part of my upbringing. I was a perfectionist and enjoyed the satisfaction I got and that my parents got when I got great grades. This was a blessing and a curse. I was often driven by the grades themselves instead of what the grades resembled, which was the process of trying and learning. My focus on getting good grades also meant I was less prone to taking risks academically which kept me from exploring new subjects that I now know I would have enjoyed and been really good at.
Now later in life, I've come to form my own grading scale that focuses on the process more so than the outcome. I wish teachers and parents would highlight this for kids so they understand it's less about the grade itself and more about the effort that you show. It would go a long way to making kids more curious about different subjects and not being afraid to fail.
Here is my grading scale:
F: Don't show up
D: Show up but don't try
C: Try but don't finish or finish unsatisfactorily
B: Finish with satisfactory effort and skill
A: Finish with exceptional effort and skill
