Kay and Charles Giddens, two
lawyers, sold their home to start a B & B hotel. Four years later, the
couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves home-made
chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B & B hotel surrounded by trees on a
hill known for colourful sunsets.
"Do I miss the freeways? Do
I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No," says Mrs Giddens.
"This is a phenomenon that's fairly widespread. A lot of people are
re-evaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do. If their base
is being damaged, what's the pay-off?"
Simple living ranges from cutting
down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work,
avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying
them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a
budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make. "You become conscious
about where your money is going and how valuable it is," Ms Robin says.
"You tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out…"
Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her
job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks.
"It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids," she says.
"Simplicity is not just about saving money; it's about me sitting down
every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music."
Mrs Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and
shoes, organize potluck(百味餐)dinners instead of expensive receptions, and generally how to
consume less.
"Simplicity is about
conscious living and creating the life you want. The less stuff you buy, the
less money goes out the door, and the less money you have to earn," Mrs
Luhrs explains.
