Description
Dolly Freed's Possum Living is a timeless guide to living frugally and enjoying leisure, despite financial constraints. First published in 1978, this book offers practical advice on how to buy and maintain a home, dress well, cope with the law, stay healthy, save money, and be lazy, proud, and honest. Thirty years on, Freed's philosophy remains relevant and inspiring, with new reflections and insights from an older and wiser author. Freed's approach is straightforward and irreverent, making her a unique voice in the world of self-sufficiency and frugal living. Her story of living off the land with her father on a half-acre lot outside Philadelphia is a fascinating and relatable tale of how to live with minimal financial outlay. This updated edition includes new thoughts and lessons from Freed, who has gained financial security and confidence through her knowledge of possum living. For those looking to adopt a more frugal lifestyle or simply enjoy a unique perspective on living well, Possum Living is a worthwhile read.
