Thought this was going to be a very interesting book, but being from the Midwest I couldn't relate to the type of lifestyle that the author lived. Her notion of necessities certainly don't match those of most midwesterners. Would be an interested study to be replicated by someone from the Midwest who didn't have the opportunites that the author had (i.e. free days to go to a premier museum, current foreign film theatres, small markets with really cheap prices, etc).

Didn't like how the end of the book really went into mainly politics I doubt your average American can afford to give a couple of hundred dollars to a political party.

I will say this, it was an extremely interesting concept for a book.
