Hello! It’s Michelle here from FrugalityandFreedom.com, bringing you the latest #AusFIWeekly. Each edition is a handpicked selection of great financial independence links, news, and events from Australia and beyond.
I’m excited to welcome the first guest curators for the series: Keepin It Frugal! Over to you…
We’re Sarah and Laura from Keepin It Frugal, a blog all about consuming less to live more with every dollar. We write for the people who know there is more to life than working in order to feed materialistic addictions. Follow our adventures as two Australians on our path to FIRE, through frugality and wellness.

What an awesome series on the three biggest household expenses – housing, food and transport. The girls over at Modern FImily are great FIRE role models with killer tips.
5-Minute Morning Yoga – Yoga With Adriene (US)
We love a good frugal activity – especially one that is all about health and wellness. Adriene is such an amazing entrepreneur who loves giving the gift of free yoga classes on YouTube for those on a budget. A 5 minute class is always one you can make time for.

I love how the links included yoga and family — so not finance per se, but definitely about living a rich life. Getting other areas of your life in order, like health and relationships, is a great foundation for other areas, like money. Certainly you save money by staying in good health, and sharing among family and friends is often good for the wallet as well.
Hey Caroline! Exactly, we couldn’t have said it better. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed our links, and here’s to a happy, healthy path to FI. 🙂
Great point, Caroline! I think wealth extends far beyond the finance side. If you aren’t rich in areas such as health (physical and mental) and relationships, the money side won’t make necessarily make up for this dissatisfaction.
