Frugalwoods-like books?

[thefisherwoman]

I am about to finish Meet the Frugalwoods, and I absolutely adore Liz's writing (it's personal, it's authentic, and it highlights why FI is so important). Are there any books along the same lines that you'd recommend reading next?

This book is not quite the same and I read it a long time ago, but it's the only one that comes to mind and it absolutely did help to change my life.  I enjoyed his voice/style and found it very readable:

Not quite the FI subject area, more like FI-adjacent, but I liked Ten Years A Nomad by Matt Kepnes, who writes a popular frugal travel blog. He shares his experiences traveling around the world and how he made it work financially, but also how he explained his very unique lifestyle to his "nonbeliever" friends and family.

In 2013, I read Tightwads on the Loose: A Seven Year Pacific Odyssey by Wendy Hinman.  It was a great read, but a very different frugal life living on a boat.

Quit like a millionaire was good. I really loved the authors back story.

It may not be exactly what the OP is looking for but... The Wealthy Barber was a good read a few years back.

I really like The Art of Frugal Hedonism by Annie Rowland and Adam Grubb although it's a bit more how-to and a bit less memoir than the Frugalwoods book.
You might try The Good Life by Helen and Scott Nearing, who did a very similar thing as the frugalwoods in the 1930s and are two of the progenitors of the FIRE movement.

"Cashing in on the american dream"

Paul Terhost


Similar to the above... He did "fire" a couple of decades ago.  Ideas are applicable but not the exact financial vehicles.

'flat broke with two goats' by Jennifer McGaha - similar in that its personal & authentic though more of a 'what not to do' than frugal woods.

I love 'escape everything' by Robert wringham. Less personal & more 'how to' though he does share some of his own journey. Very funny too. One of the only books I own as I like it so much.

Thanks, all! These recommendations are great. Please keep them coming if you have more!

Tanya Hester's first book Work Optional was similar in tone to the Frugalwoods book.

I want to second Escape Evrrything by Robert Wringham, he also has a new book that is excellent called ‘ the good life for wage slaves’

In the same vein how to be idle, and the idlers manifesto by Tom Hoskinson are great

Also very relatable are Quit like a millionaire, and simple path to wealth.

There is also a book called Enough by John Naish that is excellent, and Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton

Cait Flanders' book, The Year of Less, is a memoir (combined with how-to), but focused on a shorter period of time. It's not as well-written as Meet the Frugalwoods but it also might be more relatable for some people.
