Lean Family

Lifestyle Design for Nuclear Family trying to dodge some of the downsides (Alternatives To Traditional Family).

Some attitudes

• Minimalism (Less Bullshit Living, not Hairshirt Green asceticism)
• Family as thinnest possible Platform for each individual's Well-Being.
• Lean Development
• Agility
• Resilience http://www.theresilientfamily.com/
• Product Team framing from Software For Your Head
• WikiWikiWeb:LifeAsaDevelopmentEnvironment - Seriously, if you and your loved ones acted more like a development team and less like a bunch of customers (Consumer), don't you think you'd have a better time with them?
• How To Raise Reality Hackers, Becoming a Reality Hacker
• Zenith Angle: Four people in our family, that is like a little squad. We’ll get really quick, and stop complaining so much from now on. We’ll change our lazy habits. We’ll get things done whenever they need to get done.

Some practices/tactics

• Free Range Kids - overscheduling with silly activities eats time (Slack) and money
• Don't buy a Single Family Home, rent something small in an Urban Village
• Multiple Income Streams
• Zero Debt (Consumer Debt)
• Don't over-use HealthCare; have a High Deductible policy (unless you get great deal from a DayJob)
