People sometimes wonder how they can enjoy life while living frugally. Once you've faced death a few times, you are grateful to simply be alive! I just discovered a Christian author who turned his wild spending life around and discovered the joys of living frugal - Trent Hamm.

Trent Hamm founded his blog The Simple Dollar in 2006 after developing some innovative financial strategies to get out of debt. Since then, he’s written three books (published by Simon & Schuster and Financial Times Press), contributed to Business Insider, US News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, and Lifehacker, and been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Forbes, and  The Guardian.

Trent's book 365 Ways to Live Cheap, is apparently an adaptation of his blog The Simple Dollar, and while some might think it cheaper to read his blog than to purchase the book, I would say it depends on how much you are paying for internet and electricity.  You might even be able to get this book for free by trading in some of your books at DiscoverBooks.

Frugal Advice from Trent Hamm

Trent Hamm offers some excellent advice on his blog The Simple Dollar for learning to enjoy simple frugal living. Here of some of his tips paraphrased from his blog:
  • Ask yourself - Will spending improve my life?
  • Share pictures of what you make instead of what you buy.
  • Find meaningful low-cost hobbies.
  • Do things for others with no expectation of anything in return.
  • Develop an attitude of gratitude.
I've added Trent's book 365 Ways to Live Cheap to my list of books to read on Good Reads. 
Do you have any good frugal writers you would recommend as well?
