My sweetie knows someone whose quote we both love:
"Anyone who says money's not important doesn't have any of their own and wants yours"...
Thanks, everyone, for your replies!
Suggestions by other forum members recommending glasses a person can buy online were so helpful. Now I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with (or does this exist?) securing hearing aids...
Gregg,
Thank you for posting this! Originally your idea was that perhaps by writing of your experiences you would inspire someone else, and this has certainly proven to be the case for me. After...
cjones, it's great that you're discovering that by not shopping, it helps you to meet your challenge.
I've found that not buying continues to be freeing, continues to help me value & use what I...
Wow, Fawn, I am challenged! Now that you've resurrected this, I'm going to have to pay more attention to things!
My current inventory has 477 things on it, so don't think I'll post all of that...
Fawn, is it my actual inventory of what I have now that you're interested in? (although I've decluttered alot of things
and am still at it, although more slowly now, what I personally own is static...
Thank you for the inspiring words, flowerseverywhere. A lovely post.
Thanks for your thoughts, Zoebird & jennipurr. I will add a couple more pieces of info. Our credit union
is The Best, and we can make online payments whenever we wish, with no penalties & we've...
Hi all,
My sweetie & I have a mortgage we are aggressively paying off. At present we
owe $148,000, at 4.25 interest & our monthly payments are $737.93. We have been
paying $1000/month. ...
Anne Lee, I can second that book recommendation of Catherine's for Twelve by Twelve, by William Powers. I serendipitously came upon it in a library, thinking it looked, cover-wise, a bit, well,...
So glad you posted about this, Hey Dude, because it is SO TRUE! I have a running list of things I think I'll be buying one of these days & after awhile, because it is in a notebook & is more a "wish...
frugalannie, what is the 100 items per month? Is this paper items? I've been decluttering very conscientiously for the past year, and am interested to know if you're actually counting each piece of...
Hi ctg492! I think I became inspired by folks on these forums to try this. My year ended early last month & I still haven't bought anything new (except a lipstick). I'm thinking of buying a travel...
Hi Everyone
I think it has been about a year since I discovered this forum (& its predecessor). During this year I have learned & been exposed to so many different ideas. I have a friend who is...
Aw, thanks Everybody for your input! (happy reminiscing, Zigzagman!)
I don't think we'll be making any sudden moves (as in dumping them in one job lot), & will look into which of them might have...
Hi all. We've discovered we have approximately 5 large boxes full of old LP's -- vinyl 45's, 78's, and Long Play albums. Some of them might have value, most not, I imagine, but we're trying to keep...
Float On,
That's not just a theory now, is it?
Hilarious!
Catherine, what a beautiful piece you wrote. Thank you for including it here.
Anyone heard of or known a woman named Peace Pilgrim? She greatly influenced my life by her example when I learned of her about 25 years ago. She had an amazing life -- she made the discovery that...
Thank you, everyone, for posting your thoughts & experiences -- very helpful!
HI ApatheticNoMore,
Yes! Try it! We can all set our own parameters for such a thing. The interesting thing for me was simply "keeping track". Keeping track of things incoming or outgoing (alot...
Thanks, everybody, for your "attagirls"! It is really helpful to have this network of supporters & encouragers. Otherwise I'm slogging along on my own (weird, to some, I'm sure) way & can get...
Wondering if anyone here has opinions on electric toothbrushes. I'm kind of a DIY gal & have been resistant to acquiring another (battery operated/electric!) object, but I've heard a couple...
Thank you, HKPassey,
This looks like some great exploring!
