About

Hello and welcome to The Simplified Society! 

The Simplified Society exists as a place in our increasingly digital world to take a moment and slow down. Choosing to seek to be purposeful with our lives and grow in wisdom instead of quick solutions. 

Values that will be seen throughout the information shared through The Simplified Society: 

  • Decidedly Human - There will be no AI used in creative design, both visually and written.
  • Intentionally Responsible - This place is created for those who have chosen to be responsible in their own lives, with their finances and decisions. 
  • Always Learning - There is never a time in our lives when we arrive and somehow know the exact right moves that will carry us throughout our lives. However! Every day is a new day and a fresh start when needed. 

 

The Simply Minimal - Money & Tasks Journal 


This journal was created out of my own need to find a way to budget and track my expenses in a way that actually made sense for me and one that I could continue to use for a long time. 

After trying a variety of methods, I started writing out in a graph-paper notebook the basic format of what has now become the Simply Minimal Journal. 

This journal is meant to carry with you throughout the day, combining budgeting with your daily planner. 

The intention of this method of budgeting is to share that managing your money doesn't have to be scary or intimidating. Making a simple plan and adjusting it as life happens is success in itself.


About Me 

I'd like to introduce myself as the creator of this little thing I'm calling The Simplified Society. 

My name is Katie, and I love talking about who has the best grocery deals (Aldi, it's almost always Aldi), navigating this thing called life, and how to manage our money instead of it managing us.

I'm married to Kyle, and we live in Kansas City with our 3 pets.

Between the two of us, we used to have car loans, student loans, and credit card debt. Together, we learned about not only how it is possible to be debt-free, but also how to make a long-term plan with our money and are now debt-free! 

As I continue to learn, I hope you will join me!
