Historia!

Tack vare Fru Efficient Badass har jag upptäckt Mr Money Mustache och tack vare honom har jag upptäckt att det finns äldre försök att hjälpa folk att bryta sig loss ur den konsumtionsspiral de befinner sig i:

As the Original Early Retiree, Joe Dominguez apparently grew up in the ghetto, made it out to land a great job in the Wall Street financial sector, saved about $70,000 by age 30 in 1969 ($423k inflation-adjusted to today), and never accepted money for any of his work for the rest of his life. Along the way, he met Vicki Robin, and together they founded an oldschool grassroots movement called the New Roadmap Foundation – a huge network of volunteer teachers complete with seminars and even cassette tapes. Without the benefit of the Internet, they educated thousands of people, freeing them from the chains of their spending addictions.
