The interviews for Getting a Life were completed in late 1995 and early 1996 – over 8 years ago already! We’ve been able to stay in touch with most of our “book people” and some have become good friends. Several have achieved their self-defined state of financial independence after continuing to use the program. Some have become front-line leaders in the Simplicity Movement. Others are plodding along in the slow lane of life applying Your Money or Your Life philosophy with their own adaptations.


We thought it would be fun to share the ongoing stories of some of our Getting a Lifers and what they’re up to now. We'll be adding new update stories regularly.
