When one of them was being interviewed 1 month after the event, they said these exact words (quoted from your post), "I think the most important lesson to be learned is that we can survive on a whole lot less than we think we can." They also expressed a sense of gratitude that their neighbors and a lot of people they didn't know helped them along the way. Great post Stew! How about a post on someone who has survived a major catastrophe or a major financial setback? I know Gibble guy was one (survived a financial setback) but I'm sure there are a few others.

One observation, we have a very simple small cabin in the mountains and a larger 'main' house. I am always amazed at how we can be fully content in the smaller simplier one. I think we often get caught up in the acquisition of bigger and better; thinking it will bring us happiness. It often does not as this scripture points out. Thanks for the inspiring post!
