This was a first watch for both me and Jules. Objectively it's no Oscar winner but when you see it for what it is, there was something there. The casting was incredible and Tara Reid basically stole the show. We get into the realistic fashion, so many quotes we loved, a real-time deep dive on the director (eek), and just how this story was unbelievable and infuriating at times.Off-topic rants include: ghost rom-com casting, 'losing your V card' as a movie genre, our first musician crushes--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jules @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

We start off telling Cait how excited and special we feel to have received an advance copy of her new book.  Cait shares a bit about herself, and then we dive into some discussion and reflections on her new book.  Here are the main topics we dig into with Cait:How Cait became a financial bloggerHow Cait paid off $30K+ in debtStarts, stops, and shame along the wayHappiness vs. Contentment Rambling vs. Adding ContextTaking things step by stepGiving yourself permission to try things vs. always requiring a long-term commitmentAdventure and accountability partnersJudgement Cait’s idea to organize the book around the hiking journey and hiking themesCait’s next adventureOur favorite takeaways and nuggets from our discussion with Cait:Cait has had a lot of starts and stops, some shame, and a lot of feelings.  This is normal and OK!  She used blogging as a tool, and looking back she wishes she had been kinder to herself and not deprived herself so much.  Cait says in her book that she doesn’t think happiness is a great way to measure our lives.  She instead measures her life through contentment.  She thinks happiness could be an unrealistic goal in life, vs. seeking to be content feels right.  She wants to make sure that her needs and wants are being met, and that she’s content with her choices.  Cait 100% validates that Maggie doesn’t ramble, but she instead adds a lot of context.  Giving yourself permission to just try something.  Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, and just be OK experimenting and trying things. And combine that with taking things step by step. Just take one initial step, then take another.  The importance of accountability or adventure partners.  And the importance of picking an accountability partner who knows what your best interests are and is going to reflect that back to you.  Someone who will help you dig deeper rather than enable things that may not be the best path for you.  You need the friend who’s going to tell you what you need to hear vs. what you want to hear.  A friend who would say, “I am not judging you, I am reflecting back to you what you’ve told me is important to you.”When others are judging you, it’s all about them and has nothing to do with you.   ---Show ReferencesBook: Adventures in Opting-Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional LifeBook: The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a StoreCait Flanders website---Follow friends on FIRETwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedInLeave us a voicemail or text us: 404-981-3370eMail us at:  friendsonfiremm@gmail.comVisit our website: www.friendsonfire.org---Other LinksMaggie’s Blog: Mostly Minimal LifeMike’s Book: Your New Relationship with Money

This is an episode that we can all benefit from! Cait Flanders is the best selling author of The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store.  Like so many of us, Cait found herself binge shopping and buying things she didn't need all too frequently.  She went into debt, pulled herself out of it, and then found herself returning to her old habits.  She took an extreme approach to change her financial situation: a shopping ban where she only allowed herself to buy essentials.  She also decluttered her house, changed her eating habits, and took the time to find out what really mattered in her life.  The book documents her year-long journey.  You can learn more about Cait on her website at caitflanders.com or check her out on Instagram (@caitflanders).

Could you go a year buying only consumables? You know, just the food, medicine and toiletries your family needed, replacing items like, say, outgrown snow pants, but otherwise opting out of those routine purchases many of us make without really thinking? Here's another question: Could you give away 70 per cent of your belongings, and if you could, how would it make you feel? My guest for this episode can answer those questions with a resounding yes. Cait Flanders is a freelance writer and personal finance blogger who has written a really compelling memoir called The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store. This ended up being a profound exercise for Cait that dramatically changed the way she lives. She shares advice on how we can shift our relationship with consuming in this compelling chat.
