One of the things I've started realizing...Meg-<br /><br />One of the things I've started realizing as I've been spending more time at home is that everything I own needs to be taken care of in some way...watered, cleaned, dusted, etc. The more "stuff" I have, the more care and time is demanded. If I have or buy more than I need, it either sucks away my time or gets neglected and becomes clutter. It's made me think a bit more about what I want, need, use, etc. Do the things I have bring me happiness? Are they high quality and or beautiful? Am I willing to lovingly care for them? Or are they excess and unnecesary? It doesn't address some of the other things you write about (charity or savings, for instance), but it's one of the things I'm thinking about in connection with money and simplicity.Andrea, the little collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735406235196782602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250114894546300062.post-26548450454448194902009-10-28T18:39:36.712-05:002009-10-28T18:39:36.712-05:00See how much you have to be thankful for?!!

My big goal in life right now is paying off debt....I hate student loans and despise having a car payment every month (we went several years without having one).<br /><br />I want simplicity too, I crave it. I've been lucky though that I don't feel such an urge to "keep up with the Jones'" that I am willing to go into debt over it and that helps a bit with the simplicity.<br /><br />See you tonight! I'll be there, even if I'm in pain!Melissa Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301847140440814568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250114894546300062.post-2078156478667141352009-10-27T11:39:55.246-05:002009-10-27T11:39:55.246-05:00Wow...very powerful...how did you know that my wee...Wow...very powerful...how did you know that my weekend was partly spent in angst about money??
