Your home should be your favorite place
Your home should be your favorite place in the entire world. And if it currently isn’t that to you, ask yourself why. What is standing in the way of your space being your ultimate source of rest and recuperation? What is in your surroundings, in your mind, and in your scheduler that stops your home from being all of this and more to you?
Hi, I’m Lauren
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m the woman behind The Minimalist Wallet. You can find me in my day to day at @lauren_etc where I have been sharing my own finance and minimalism journey since May 2015.
After years of seeing resources that catered only to minimalism, sustainability, and personal finance, separately, I dreamed up this business to help others envision a life that allows them to live within their values while reaching all their financial goals and more.
Living in a way that supports people and planet is the foundation of what I do. Every action we take has a ripple effect across the world from where and what we purchase to eat, what clothing we wear, and where we invest and hold our money. Recognizing the impact we have can be incredibly overwhelming. It might even feel easier to just maintain the status quo.
I’m here to guide you through the process of shifting your actions in alignment with your values.
Welcome to The Minimalist Wallet!
Welcome to The Minimalist Wallet!
This space was created to help you envision a life that allows you to reach your financial goals while still living within your values.
You are in the right spot if you:
- want to use minimalism as a tool to achieve your finance and lifestyle goals
- agree that we have the power as consumers and holders of wealth to affect change
- aim to make better choices for people and planet
- value a hustle-free lifestyle
We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize we only have one. Let’s make the most of this life - together.
