I sometimes picture people a hundred years ago, having way less than most of us do today. They had less stuff and far fewer headaches and worries, too. Ad life moved so much more slowly. I wonder sometimes how we will keep up and if the human body and mind CAN keep up with this speedy life for long. Less stuff is definitely better. I can even look at my DVD collection and while it's nice, how many of those DVDs am I ever even going to watch again in my lifetime? You make a great point here. I'll keep looking at the leakage in my own life. Thank you for sharing, MJ.
“Being frugal is mindfulness applied to finances” niiice and agreed. It’s hard when you have credit cards and interest and you’re in a hole though. Because you are living frugally, you’re just also paying for the past in the present.
I know you're right! I think this lesson might be the toughest to implement for those very reasons. Especially if you're like me, and were raised with the opposite mindset. I was lucky in the fact that when I did decide to cut and run, I had enough equity in my home to pay off almost all of my debt. And I do mean lucky, had the market been different it could gone much worse. Thanks for the thoughtful comment Jennifer, I love these discourses 🤍 Happy Writing! 🤠🤙

For those of us wanting to step back from employment, this is an excellent read.
