Light Phone vs Flip Phone: Digital Minimalism
Family Life Elevated Podcast
Video of Episode: I review my experience using the Light Phone 2 compared to a flip phone. The flip phone in question is an LG Exalt LTE that is on Verizon Wireless.

There are many steps to setting up and designing you financial future – naturally this gets a tad more complicated when you get marriage because you will likely decide to share accounts, etc.
