They're all in those unpacked boxes in the garage. As soon as you get a new place that you can call home again, you will unpack and bring them all back into your life again. It's not that easy to let things go like that. And it's not easy to stop shopping just like that either. Specially when times are tough like these. I'm not telling you to go for it, but for you to look out, because one way or another you will compensate all the frustration you are living right now on something. Whether is spending your money with things you don't need or eating more or less or...you name it. Watch out. You still have all the things you’re complaining about.

I think like most of us, we find the answer is "no". Recently we had a garage sale and I looked at what I was selling. I asked myself, "how much money did I waste on stuff I truly didn't need?" It was more than I wanted to count. Changing shopping habits can make all the difference in the world. Plus, save us bundles of money. I, too, love living simply. Hi Tati,
