# The Year of Less by Cait Flanders (Paperback)

**Could you go a whole year without shopping?  
**  
In her late twenties, that's exactly what Cait Flanders did. Despite having cleared nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, she still struggled to save money. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy, she embarked on a year-long shopping ban.  
  
_The Year of Less_ documents the 12 months during which Cait spent money only on the essentials - food, bills, car fuel - and steadily cleared out 70 per cent of her belongings. She learned to make do and mend, imposed a television ban and researched the zero waste movement.  
  
The results were profoundly transformative: _the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt_. In the process of decluttering her apartment, she also decluttered her life and overcame long-held toxic habits.  
  
With advice and practical tips from Cait, _The Year of Less_ will leave you questioning what you're holding on to in your own life - and quite possibly lead you to find your own path of less.  
  
**'For your friend who has already Kondo'd her cupboards after reading _The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, The Year of Less_ will inspire them to do the same to their finances.'** **_Metro_  
****  
'What is an incredible personal journey is also a stark reminder of how materialistic many of us have become. _The Year of Less_ will certainly change your perspective on how you spend your money.'**
