The Case for Frugal Hedonism w/ Annie Raser-Rowland #1097

Jumbo shrimp. Open secret. Bittersweet. We call these oxymorons - ideas that shouldn't work together, yet somehow do. Most people put 'frugality' and 'hedonism' in that same category, assuming you can't have a blast while saving a buck. But our guest today, Annie Raser-Rowland, is here to shatter that myth. An Australian horticulturalist and author, Annie argues that true pleasure isn't bought, instead it’s found in the more sensual and free moments we overlook when we're too busy working to pay for things we don't need. Today, we’re exploring how to live an excellent, joy-filled life that doesn't require a massive income or a single dreaded coupon. We specifically touch on:

Spending a quarter of the typical person
Why Annie believes that experiences provide more joy than material possessions
How community and interdependence enrich our lives
Setting long-term goals can motivate frugal habits
Literary figures and role models can inspire us to live more fulfilling lives
Advertising influences our spending habits negatively
And plenty more!
