Title: Reward for yuppie-dom
Product review: This couple's contention that they are living simply is a joke. It's easy to choose voluntary simplicity when you can live off the interest of your investments. I also understand that one of their tenets is to borrow whenever possible, including borrowing a friend's van to transport a group of other VS types to a gathering. During the trip, the van broke down. Did Mr. Heitmiller offer to pay for the repairs? Oh, heck no, it wasn't his fault because the van was due to break down. Guess the friend won't be able to adopt the VS lifestyle because he will have to work to pay for the repairs. Mooching off your friends doesn't qualify as VS, does it? People who are living the VS lifestyle because their economic situation forces them to do so are in a better position to write a book about how it's done. People with a million bucks in the bank have a rather comfy cushion.
