Consumer expert Kerry Taylor shares how she convinced millions of people to embrace a life of thrift by reflecting on our disposable lifestyle, impulsive spending habits, and by challenging conventional views on accumulating wealth. Moving from the city to a rural organic farm changed her perspective on money, and she explains why saving is about more than balancing a budget.

Kerry Taylor is also a Globe and Mail personal finance writer, a contributor on CBC’s On The Money, and Canada’s top money blogger. Her website Squawkfox.com was voted Canada’s best money blog by Globe and Mail readers.
