Introduction Victoria Hokulani-Is a simple living, fresh air breathing, pure rain water drinking, HipHop mom. She contributes to the GDP by putting the pedal to the floor on a sewing machine, customizing and crafting bridal and formal gowns. Self-employed, both her and her Architect husband work out of their compact and efficient Island style mortgage free Chicken Hale! This backstage HipHop Mom and her two special boys are immersed in Hawaiian language HipHop Dance Classes with the very unique N-2 Dance at Nawahiokalani'opu'u. At a young age, she learned the perils of revolving debt and monthly payments on depreciating investments and soon realized that living within the means was the only way to have spiritual and mental sanity. This age of crushing personal debt and soul numbing consumerism has baffled and intrigued her for over 10 years. How could this massive Corporate ConGame get so coercive and deceitful that it was able to snag millions into its Web of Debt? Lessons in Depressionomics explores these issues and offers tips on frugality but most of all it is a lesson about the UPSIDE of downsizing.
