After reading this post and watching Fight Club again for about the 10th time, I realize my favorite quote is not listed here. “No fear, No distractions- The ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide.” I think Baker has this quality and that has been a foundation for his drastic change. When you sell everything and reduce all your possessions to the bare minimum, then you are surrounded by only the things that truly matter to you. Awesome.

We are in the middle of cleaning up our lives and moving to Australia (with a little stopover in SEA), and this post outlines exactly the mentality we have had to adopt! I am now looking forward to the day I own nothing else than what I carry around on my back – it will feel great! Thanks for a great post!

First off, you had me at “Tyler Durden” lol
Thanks for this breakdown, it was the best blog ever!
Second- you are truly an inspiration to free spirits and people who LIVE life rather than exist in it. If you ever make it back to Denver, you got place to crash and/or rest up for you and your family.My daughter and I will hopefully be traveling through South America or Europe soon doing a similiar quest to seek out life. Thanks again and safe travels!
P.S. I would be happy to send you a free T-shirt from my gym or some little girls stuff if you ever need it, my little one is 3. just food for thought. Cheers

My favorite?
On recovering from financial mistakes…

“Only after disaster can we be resurrected.”

There is no financial situation that is so grim that you cannot bounce back. There are endless success stories of people who’ve overcome extremely desperate financial conditions and came out on top. In fact, many of us need to hit our own ‘rock bottom’ before any lasting change can be made. Stop making excuses and start creating your own personal recovery story.

Thanks. I needed that.

Superb post!!! One of my favorite books (and movies) of all time…and by the way, unlike most films’ pathetic attempts at recapturing the feeling/theme/message/characters of a book, I really believe the film version of Chuck’s novel may have even transcended the book in many ways. Anyway, that’s off topic (English major coming out in me), just wanted to APPLAUD you on a great post that captured my attention, while providing valuable personal finance insights through a medium that was fun and easily digestible, even after my ten-hour bartending shift. Perhaps we should convince the public school system to adopt a similar method for keeping the kiddies rapt attention?? Just starting reading your blog and I already adore it. You touch on all my favorite guilty pleasures (anti-materialism/consumerism/capitalism, living off the grid, alternative personal finance, etc.) without being TOO extreme. Honest writing from a unique perspective!! I’ll have to send you a link to my personal finance/traveling blog I just started working on when I get enough content up. Thanks bunches for the (blog post) nightcap!!
