I think that at some point in life many of us look around and just want to be rid of the clutter and duplicates crowding our lives and homes. I quit stopping at yard and garage sales and thrift shops to curb my instinct to buy bargins that I invariably donated to others for their fund raiser sales. It is hard to break the habit of even frugal shopping! This is not to say I am not grateful that those venues were available to me when I most needed them. This article makes a good case for simplicity leading to peace of mind and enjoyment of life.

I can speak from experience, for I have lived a long time and in periods of plenty money and then again in periods of not enough, so I have “ been there”.
Surviving is a lot more fun than going out and shopping.
I have mountains of collected stuff, and cannot use any of it, due to bad health....so it sets and rots.
One of these days, I will put it all in the Free Cycle, or the family will.
A campfire, a pot of beans and a pot of coffee and you have the makings of memories.... for me.
Thanks for reading and posting with us here, you are welcome to just join in, the others will be back, as soon as the canning and garden harvesting is caught up.
If I could get out and about, I would be active in the Free Cycle world, for what is more fun than giving what you have and getting what you really need enough to ask for?
LOL, of course, I see lots of impulse things there too.
