TGoG 127 – Not Keeping Up With the Jones’s

September 30, 2015 @ 21:47 By Gavin Webber 1 Comment

[spp-player optin=”off”]

Today is International Podcast Day so in the spirit of the day, Kim and I co-hosted an episode about something that we are quite proud of.  Proud of not keeping up with the Jones’s, especially when it comes to our home, furnishings, and garden.  Not anti consumers, but conscious consumers leaning towards home producers.

Join us as we chat about how we are not keeping up with the Jones’s in all the things we do.

Not Keeping up with the Jones's

Our House

From our humble beginnings living in a Navy married quarters, to choosing an affordable home, and then living within our means (after our little crazy consumer phase).  We talk through it all, and how we are not influenced by others and avoid the rat race.


Don’t forget that you can subscribe to the show using the buttons above via your favourite podcatcher app on your chosen mobile device, and if you have the time we would love to hear what you think of the show via an iTunes review and rating.  It’s as easy as pie and Kim gets very excited when we get a review!

    Without even listening to the episode I was immediately shaken into amazement that you do all that you do on 779 square meters…..and here’s me thinking that I will hold of doing some things till I have an acreage. Thanks Gavin – instant paradigm shift.
