Downshifting as a way of Living
The downshifter is a person who has literally shifted their life into a lower gear.
The term comes from the English word "downshift" - switching to a lower gear.
Downshifters are people who choose voluntarily and for the long term to simplify their lives.
They organize their lives in such a way that they can live comfortably with less money and, in this way, by working fewer hours for the man, they have much more time for the truly important things in life.
