	Simple living Summary
		Simple living (similar but not identical to voluntary simplicity or voluntary poverty) is a lifestyle individuals may pursue for a variety of motivations, such as spirituality, health, or ecology.
		Simple living as a concept is distinguished from the simple lifestyles of those living in conditions of poverty in that its proponents are consciously choosing to not focus on wealth directly tied to money or restrictive, cash-based economics.
		Some simple living adherents, such as Kirkpatrick Sale, are strong critics of technology, while others see the internet as a key component of simple living in the future, including the reduction of an individual's carbon footprint through telecommuting.

	Simple Living
		Living simply does not translate to being poor, but rather, making the wisest and most efficient use of time and resources to live a richer, more satisfying life, lower the stress in your life and your family's, and allow your time and money and energy to work for you instead of the reverse.
		Living simply is not about being frugal, living on a tight budget, or a modest income.
		Simple living is a journey to find more meaning, more joy, more fun in life by getting out from under the burden of so much stuff, to remove the barrier of stuff that keeps us apart from other people, from our spirituality and even from ourselves.
