Description

Could you go a whole year without shopping? In her late twenties, that's exactly what Cait Flanders did.

Despite having cleared nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, she still struggled to save money.

When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy, she embarked on a year-long shopping ban.

The Year of Less documents the 12 months during which Cait spent money only on the essentials - food, bills, car fuel - and steadily cleared out 70 per cent of her belongings.

She learned to make do and mend, imposed a television ban and researched the zero waste movement.

The results were profoundly transformative: the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.

In the process of decluttering her apartment, she also decluttered her life and overcame long-held toxic habits.

With advice and practical tips from Cait, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you're holding on to in your own life - and quite possibly lead you to find your own path of less. 'For your friend who has already Kondo'd her cupboards after reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, The Year of Less will inspire them to do the same to their finances.' Metro'What is an incredible personal journey is also a stark reminder of how materialistic many of us have become.

The Year of Less will certainly change your perspective on how you spend your money.' The Independent
