Been doing that for 8 years. Not to that extreme but the $ savings are substantial. And surprise, I don’t miss not spending on yet more clutter and excess clothing.

Me too. Saving about 100k per year for the past 10 years. Living off my AF retired pay and saving all my pay from the current job. No debt.

The objects we think we own tend to own us. The more money we spend on an object, the more ownership it exerts. Before long our lives become cluttered with objects, much like what becomes of hoarders like they show on cable tv shows.

When we die, the ownership passes to someone else....thus the admonition: "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
