First of all, a huge thank you goes out to slow-living bloggers Gena and Jeff over at Ha Nui Lao for their terrific and detailed review of my book, Money Smart. I am honored that mine is the first print book that they’ve reviewed on their site! Jeff and Gena are a happily married, reformed type A duo, who have embraced simpler living and slower traveling, and gratefully call the South Pacific home.
Not only did they volunteer to review Money Smart, but in their true spirit of sharing they’re running a contest where the winner will win a copy of my book and some “Hawaiian goodies”. Here are the contest details, taken directly from their site: “Proceed directly to the comments and leave us your best smart money tip. If you learned this tip via a more minimalist or simpler way of living and want to explain that all the better! Again, we’ll announce the winner of Money Smart on April 27th when Ted shares his guest post.”
Jeff and Gena also do a great job of addressing an important topic in the lead-up to their review. They point out the apparent discrepancy between their slow-living blog and money by summarizing it beautifully: “If money is out of order in your life, if finances and/or the lack of them drive your decisions, if debt is dragging you down at every turn you and your family, your dreams and hopes for a different way of life are going to get back-burnered over and again until you deal with what is out of order in your life… money.”
I can’t agree with them more.
For anyone interested in participating in the contest (link to review), saving time and money with the minimalist lifestyle—or those who just want to slow down—visit Jeff and Gena’s blog. Also, visit their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter.
