I visited a friend I haven't seen for awhile. She travels a lot and when I visited her she was mending a tee shirt. She told me she hasn't bought any new clothing for five years! No wonder she has money to travel.
I would have thrown that tee shirt out. But she has inspired me. I took a "one year without buying any clothing" challenge about 7 years ago, but have really fallen off the wagon after that.
If my weight stays the same, I could easily make it five years on what I own. The challenge is, can I do it? Can I even do a year again? I would love to travel more with that money.
It's really pretty simple in theory. Like dieting. Don't take in more calories than you expend. Don't buy any new clothing for five years. Yet hard in practice.
Has anyone done such a challenge? Tell me your stories!
