Becoming an ECONOMIC SPARTAN

2010-08-01T13:31:00.000-07:00

For some of you, learning to be disciplined with money is a bit like putting on a pair of water skis and someone pushing you down a mountain.

Being frugal for some has always been a choice. Saving hard earned money is considered a wise decision. Thinking of the future and retirement is a high priority. Being meticulous with learned methods of saving...proving that it is possible to live comfortably and still save a pretty penny is celebrated.

Conserving out of the need to may seem very limiting to some of you. Maybe you feel it is a primitive way to live. Limited shopping, limited calls, limited trips in the car, limited opportunities for fun and excitement. Well, that is one way to look at it.

Instead...try thinking of it as freedom from annoying collectors, opportunities for less or no guilt, moments with more control over your financial life, and last but not least…the convenience of financial responsibility.

Every cent matters. You gotta care about everything.

I just love jars...they can hold so many wonderful items, as well as decorate a boring countertop. Jars come in all shapes and sizes. It is best to find them at flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales for cheap. Jars are an excellent way to organize with style or store your good eats from the garden! Try it!

Smart Ideas to Make Extra Income

2010-06-23T11:50:00.000-07:00

Could you use some extra money? Sure…we all could. Here are some simple ideas to do just that.

Having a garage sale is by far the first thing that comes to mind. Yes, people are consuming less lately, but when they do buy they want a bargain. So, don’t let that deter you from having one.

If you are computer savvy and have a good digital camera, check out Ebay. Many people peruse this vast website in search for deals and products. If you don’t have enough to fill your garage, then simply create a smaller online version, sit back and wait for some customers.

Consignment is another option if you have some quality items that maybe you haven’t used yet or if you have changed taste. Rather than donating or selling at a garage sale for a dollar or two, find the nearest consignment store and strike a deal with them.

You don’t have to be a teenager to be a babysitter anymore…If you like children or young adults, offer to watch them occasionally. Post fliers at local churches or throughout your neighborhood.

Do you have an extra room in your home? Rent it out. Foreclosures are everywhere, there are renters out there.

Baking and crafting have always proven to be not only fun, but profitable. Get in touch with your artistic and creative side and earn money selling at local farmers markets, fairs, or on sites like Ebay or Etsy.

Financial Carefulness: Vital in today's economy

2010-05-21T22:44:00.001-07:00

The buying and selling of used goods is an all-important type of economy that lives just under the radar of the actual economy. It thrives off the people hot in pursuit of thriftiness due to necessary financial cutbacks, new found austerity or an act of simple financial carefulness. The actual economy is becoming a scary place hour by hour now.

More and more families are steadily losing their ability to live in the real economy and the world of thrift stores, discount shopping, garage sales, and frugal living is vital.

Buying “new” everything just isn’t possible for a family struggling with the costs of raising children, gas, food, entertainment, and all the other incidental dollars spent on a daily basis.

I constantly hear people say they "just can’t get into it" because they are used to the best of everything, or "they are frightened by the thought of using something used". I tell them to lose the ego.

Being frugal is great for your bank account and can be an enjoyable lifestyle. It is also a very creative way to express your individuality. It is possible to create a nice, inviting home environment and sense of personal style. Cleaning up your spending habits does not mean you have to cut the quality of your life.

2010-05-16T23:09:00.000-07:00

Thrift shopping is a growing alternative for those seeking to save money, as well as for those who wish to leave a smaller carbon footprint behind.
click image to enlarge

In this difficult economy, most people would like to employ cost-cutting measures wherever possible. Purchasing necessary clothing and household items, still in excellent condition, from local thrift shops will benefit the individual or family budget.

Today’s thrift shops are bright and clean, and carry a great selection of brand-name merchandise, making them a popular destination for the label-conscious shopper. Many brand-name items can be found in perfect condition, for about one-quarter or less of the original price.

Our consumeristic society drives the demand for the availability of new merchandise for purchase, making what we already own seem obsolete. Manufacturing needs to keep up with this demand, but more manufacturing leads to more pollution in the air, in the water and on the land.

Article: Does Frugality equal Detachment?

2010-03-15T01:15:00.000-07:00

"The more I embrace frugality, the more I wonder if a frugal life equals a life detached from society. And then I ask myself: Is that a bad thing? I find myself less and less interested in “mainstream” society as the years go by. I don’t watch TV much, so I couldn’t tell you anything about American Idol, Survivor (is it even still on?), or any of the cable-only shows that are so popular these days. I take my news in small bites through the Internet, so I’m not aware of much beyond the big headlines. Since I don’t go out to eat very much, I’m not up to date with all the latest restaurants and bars in town. I don’t keep up with fashion trends, gadgets, or cars. About the only thing I do keep up with are...

Financial Carefulness means Losing the Ego

2009-12-20T03:52:00.000-08:00

More and more families are steadily losing their ability to live in the real economy and the world of thrift stores, discount shopping, garage sales, and frugal living is vital.

Buying “new” everything just isn’t possible for a family struggling with the costs of raising children, gas, food, entertainment, and all the other incidental dollars spent on a daily basis.

Check out this great two minute video below with some ways to turn your dollars into huge returns.

Your Local Library can help you get financially and family strong!...for FREE!

2009-12-15T21:05:00.000-08:00

Times are getting tougher out there…it is evident everywhere. I urge you to stop paying for and buying things you don’t need. If you must...then please shop as wisely and inexpensively as possible. Get rid of the ego and take a good hard look at your budget and cut down even more.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about by holding on to your hard earned money and protecting your family's future.

I know, I know…you still need to have some fun.
So, I have thought of a few things that will keep you entertained for free so you can put your savings to use for your future.

Local libraries can take care of your family's entertainment needs. Instead of doling out the cash for magazine or newspaper subscriptions…cancel them immediately, save your money and get yourself a free library card to read the latest publications anytime you want.

Most local and city libraries are stocked with several computers with internet connection that are available for free! All you have to do is sign up for a scheduled time.

You don’t need to pay extra money for those premium cable channels…I am serious! Libraries are wonderful free resources for movies. Most carry the current releases as well as the classics.
Have a great family weekend for practically nothing and check out free films, magazines, books, games, and free internet usage.

Do you spend too much money each month on long distance calls? Write letters, or send email.

Think this is too good to be true? Take a look at how much you have been spending on just the things I have mentioned above…you will be shocked at how much cash is being wasted on stuff that is available to everyone for free. All you have to do is just plan, and organize your time and efforts and you will be financially rewarded with saving a great deal of money. There will also be a significant difference in your family because you will spend more quality time together. And that is worth more than gold.

Recession fears bring out the frugal shoppers!

2009-12-10T00:04:00.000-08:00

With fears of recession hanging over the nation, Kimberly Washington has begun to steer clear of her usual retail haunts — Macy's, The Limited, Ann Taylor Loft.
Unless there's a clearance sale, "The prices are just too high for me." Her favorites now? T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Ross Dress for Less.

TELL US: Have you changed your shopping habits because of the economic slowdown?
"I can find good-quality merchandise at lower prices than in some regular stores," Washington, a legal editor from Stone Mountain, Ga., says of the off-price retailers.

Her shopping habits seem to fit a broader pattern. The weaker the economy gets, it seems, the more some discounters benefit and the bleaker the outlook for their higher-priced competitors. That trend burst into view during the holiday season, when Wal-Mart and some off-price retailers outperformed full-price stores.

Now, with the economy sputtering, some analysts say, more shoppers have begun to ratchet down the price level of the stores where they shop.

Off-price retailers are in a "customer-gathering mode," says retail analyst Jeff Stein. "Department store customers are able to shop in a different venue and get the same brands. (T.J. Maxx and Marshalls) are gaining exposure to non-traditional customers."

Analysts point to sales figures, including fresh data out Thursday and figures from previous downturns, to show that more shoppers turn to discounters at times such as these. January retail sales were dismal across the board, and the International Council of Shopping Centers said it was the worst January showing since at least 1970. Still, discounters such as Wal-Mart, Ross and TJX — parent of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls — outperformed their higher-priced competitors, such as Nordstrom and Macy's.

The next year's outlook for some discounters — when compared with higher-end stores and full-price retailers — suggests Wal-Mart, TJX, Ross and others will continue to enjoy an edge. (See charts on left.)

Off-price stores typically sell some of the same name-brand clothing found at department stores but at prices that are often far lower, along with jewelry, luggage and other items. These stores buy merchandise that didn't sell at department stores in previous seasons, then sell it at deep discounts. They also buy from apparel makers when stores cancel orders or go out of business. Wal-Mart, on the other hand, sells discounted name-brand food, health and beauty aids, as well as private-label and other low-price clothes.

Changing attitudes

In recent weeks, some people who seldom shopped at Wal-Mart, for reasons ranging from a perception of low quality to poor customer service, say they've put aside those concerns in favor of saving money. Others who normally favor attractively displayed merchandise and a wide selection now say they find off-price retailers a way to shop down without sacrificing style or brands.

Amy Erickson of Bensalem, Pa., lives within a mile of a Macy's, a Target and an outlet mall, but these days spends most of her shopping time at Wal-Mart. She'll still rifle through sale racks at the outlet stores. And her husband jokes that they should have named their 1-year-old son Clearance. But since her family's adjustable-rate mortgage reset in October, jacking up their monthly payment by more than 35%, they value the savings on food, formula and diapers at Wal-Mart more than ever.

"It's just so much less expensive," she says.

That shift, suggests Marcy Syms, CEO of off-price retailer Syms, is "something we'll see more of, and it's consistent with past harbingers of recession. It takes a lot for people to change buying patterns. It usually has to be something they feel significantly in their home budgets."

Marcy Syms notes that the 1990-91 recession actually helped lift sales at Syms.

Phil Rist, a vice president at consumer insights firm BIGresearch, notes: "Consumers are shopping around more. … You're definitely seeing more activity at the discounters than you do in economic boom times."

These days, Kristy Tucker of Lexington, Ky., is shifting toward two regional off-price retailers in her area, Goody's and Gordmans.

"My husband is quite happy that I'm no longer shopping at Macy's, Express and Old Navy," Tucker says. "Nowadays, Gordmans and Goody's are our first stop, not the other places. I still get my jeans from Old Navy, but that's it."

Retail analyst Bill Dreher of Deutsche Bank Securities notes that Wal-Mart emerged from the 2001 recession in stronger shape than it entered it.

The trend could carry long-term implications for all the retailers. People who try — and like — stores in shaky economic times are more likely to stick with them after the economy rebounds.

Wal-Mart is "in the right place at the right time," says Dreher, who follows the discounter. It "provides a solution to consumers during those rough economic times when they're driven to the stores because of economic need." Once the economy improves, those shoppers "tend to stay with Wal-Mart for the more discretionary categories as they come out of recession."

To avoid spending too much, Michael West says, his family's been consolidating shopping trips to save gas and buying more of their food, clothes and other necessities at Wal-Mart.

"We used to hate going to Wal-Mart because of the huge lines at checkout, but they've fixed that in the last year," says West, of Montgomery, Ala.

About 85% of people with household incomes of more than $100,000 reported in WSL Strategic Retail's new How America Shops survey that they were already shopping at Wal-Mart at least once in the prior three months. WSL CEO Wendy Liebmann says that means the discounter is well-positioned to prosper in a sluggish economy.

"The door is already open to (higher-income customers); now they just may be spending more than they did before," says Liebmann, whose company's survey results will be issued this month. "These people are thinking, 'Why shouldn't I save the 20 cents on toilet paper, because it all adds up.' "

With the price of apparel rising along with gas, electricity and food prices, Erin Chandler of Findlay, Ohio, has scaled back her clothes shopping and avoided Macy's, Nordstrom and such specialty retailers as J. Crew (JCG) and Banana Republic. Before the economic slowdown, she says, she never shopped at Wal-Mart for anything except toiletries or groceries. She also wasn't a T.J. Maxx shopper, "simply because I didn't feel that I had to be. … To be honest, T.J. Maxx seemed a little like an unnecessary downgrade."

But recently, she concedes, she's bought a few items of clothing at Wal-Mart and adds, "I do not have a problem with doing so."

And after shopping at T.J. Maxx regularly, Chandler, a college admissions counselor, thinks the off-price retailer "has a fair selection of brands and offerings and is very reasonable on price. I now save department-store shopping or brand-name store shopping for specific pieces that I know work, (like) jeans from a specific chain or a pair of shoes I know I love."

Wal-Mart is probably even better positioned than the off-price retailers because it doesn't rely so much on discretionary fashion and home furnishings. Rather, it's the largely recession-proof staples — food, health and beauty aids, cleaning products and other home essentials — that draw mobs to Wal-Mart.

Another discounter, Ross Dress for Less, thinks its customers fall into two groups: those who "want a bargain" and those who "need a bargain," says Katie Loughnot, Ross' vice president of investor relations.

"We do attract a 'trade-down' customer who is not spending as much as they were," Loughnot says. "We also attract people who aspire to wear a brand but couldn't afford to get it at a better department store."

Though Loughnot says many variables affect consumer spending, she thinks that when the economy suffers, Ross outperforms full-price stores because "we are very value-focused. Name-brand bargains will always be in style."

Pondering every purchase

Many of the gifts under the Christmas tree last year from Laura Arnold's husband were from Ross, which is new to her area in Midlothian, Va. Arnold did most of her gift-card shopping at Wal-Mart, because she knew the money would "stretch further."

The couple, who are trying to pay off credit card debt, have boosted the portion of shopping that they do at discount stores from about 50% to about 80%. That's likely to continue because she says they're "trying to go several months with only absolutely necessary purchases."

Many people will drive farther or brave bigger crowds to shop at Wal-Mart. Still, some of them aren't quite willing to make the leap to buy their clothes there. Wal-Mart's efforts to snare clothing shoppers from competitors, especially Target, have foundered in the past few years, along with its efforts to market "designer" clothing.

Still, for Erica Leydic of Atlanta, Wal-Mart clothes are a source of pride. She's been a discount shopper for years. "I love the thrill of the hunt," she says. "Plus, I think it's great when girls comment on my great outfit, and I say, 'Wal-Mart — $5.00.' "

At discounters such as Marshalls and Ross, some shoppers prefer not to face the scattershot selection, despite the brand names. Chrystal Johnson Roesle of Birmingham, Ala., says shopping at off-price retailers is still "just not worth the hassle."

Linda Totten of Cary, N.C., says she's been to T.J. Maxx only two or three times because she says it's too challenging to find her size. She prefers sales at Dillard's or online shopping at Coldwater Creek , where there are 70%-off deals and more to choose from.

There are other challenges for off-price stores.

"At the end of the day, (off-price stores) are still fashion retailers, and (people) may not buy just because it's a good price," says retail analyst Stein of Stein Research in Cleveland.

But Kimberly Washington says off-price retailers are the best solution for her family these days.

"I spend so much time in the car transporting my children that the money that might ordinarily be spent elsewhere on clothing goes to gasoline," she says. "With all of the negative news about the economy, you just never know what might happen, (so) we try to save money and not spend more than we have to on anything."

Coupons are a must have in a recession!

2009-12-09T23:49:00.000-08:00

CELEBUTHRIFTY: Kathy Spencer: How to Shop for FREE!

2009-12-04T01:44:00.000-08:00

After all the media coverage and all the information that I have spelled out my sites people are still asking me ,” How do you do it?” and “How can I too shop for free?”.

Step 1

First off I must tell you there is no magic wand that I wave at the checkout that takes my total from 280.00 to a penny.
The only thing I wave at the checkout is my large stack of coupons….and believe me it is a large stack of coupons.
Although during the taping with Good Morning America as the total dropped with each coupon that was scanned I did fee like the sky opened and the Coupon Gods shined down upon me and blessed me with a one cent subtotal!

FROM ABC NEWS: WATCH KATHY GET $267.00 in groceries for just one penny! CLICK HERE

Step 2

So, if you want to shop the way I do first you need to change the way you think and shop.
I am not the average shopper that makes a list of what I need and goes and buys it.
My list is based on what is free or near free for week at the store and that’s it, no add on allowed unless I have store play money to burn up.
How do I do that?
I search the weekly ads and look for things that are on sale and that I know will work out close to free by what I remember seeing coupons for.
I then circle what those items are in the ad and then go look for the coupons to match the product if they are free they get added to the list and I buy as many as I have coupons for or as many as the stores coupon policy allows in a trip. I often make multiple trips and transactions to make the most of the sales.
I also pay close attention to stores coupons and promotions. You are allowed to use a store coupon with a manufacturers coupon, a lot of times those two will make for a free item. If something is free I get it. If I have a buy one get one free manufacturers coupon and the store has a buy on get one free sale on the same item, that make the item free!

Step 3

People always say why get something if you don’t need it, or say I don’t need 10 jars of peanut butter.
My answer to that is if you don’t need it someone else will.
I did not need the 6 diabetes monitors that I picked up at CVS while shopping with Inside Edition but I got them because I will be donating them to my local Council on Aging , a lot of people have diabetes and don’t test regularly because they can’t afford the meter. So if you can get something for free take it chances are a friend or family member will need it and if not donate it, you can even get a tax write off for donating free items.
As for I don’t need that much peanut butter. I hear this one all the time; they say I only need one.
My answer to that is look at the expiration date, if it’s a year from now ask yourself how many jars will you use in that time frame. If you say 6 and they are free then get them.
The trick to shopping for free is to stockpile.
Stockpile anything that is free and you will no longer have a need to buy those items. Once you learn the cycle of sales and coupons you can plan ahead.
Another question I get is “how do you get milk or meat for free?”
Believe it or not their actually are coupons for milk and meat. I get free milk frequently, usually organic milk companies put out high value coupons , pair them with a sale and you will get free milk. Wine tags are an excellent source for getting free meat and produce. Wine tags are harder to come by but they frequently have coupons tat state save 5.00 on ham, save 1.00 on seafood, save 2.00 on produce.
When I get wine tags I make sure I get the right weight to make the item for free.
I can also make a lot of store money by rolling the Catalina deals in the stores flyer and getting what works out free and then rolling the deal.
That is a little confusing and I explain that on my site. Check it out its 1.00 a year and you will save thousands!

Money Saving Tips: How to live on a lower income

Great Post from Money Saving Tips:

Posted on: July 11, 2009 By BlondieWrites

Experiencing a drop in income can send us into a panic and our budgets into a tailspin. Unfortunately, it can happen to just about anyone. You or your spouse could be laid off, work could dry up if you’re self-employed, or you or someone in your household could fall ill. Times like these call for drastic money-saving measures.

If you have adequate savings, you will be able to live off of that for a few months. But whether you have an emergency fund or not, spending as little as possible is the key to making it through such tough times. You often don’t know how long your income will be reduced, so it’s crucial to stretch the money you have as far as possible. Here are some ways to do that:

Tell Your Money You "Just Want to be Friends"

You need to break up with your money. I don't mean stop spending or attempt to live an extreme life where money isn't necessary. But during a recession, re-evaluating your relationship with money is crucial.

The first step is to realize the areas in your relationship where money has "intruded" to create what I call a triangle. Here are some possible triangles, which I talk about in my book Financial Infidelity and how you can break up these patterns!

2009-06-10T09:24:00.000-07:00

Do you need inspiration to create something wonderful with all those items you have been saving around the house....just in case you MAY need it someday?
Meet Leah Kramer from The Craftster.net.

Craftster was started in August 2003 by Leah Kramer – a computer programmer and self-proclaimed craft junkie. Leah has been crafting ever since she could hold a pair of safety scissors. Somewhere along the lines she thinks she inhaled too much glue because now she is attracted to crafts that are irreverent, ironic, kitschy, or cleverly eco-friendly. She resides in Boston where she was a founder of the "coolest store ever," Magpie, and for 7 years was an organizer of the not-your-grandma's craft fair Bazaar Bizarre.

What is Craftster?

Craftster is an online community where people share hip, off-beat, crafty diy (do it yourself) projects. The term "Craftster" means "crafty hipster" and is also meant to be an homage to the pioneer peer-to-peer sites Napster and Friendster.

Great Article..

Unless all your worldly assets are tied up in cashmere sweaters, Prada or food, chances are you've lost at least lost 40% of your net worth. And no matter where your remaining assets are, you're probably also deeply in debt. Your main concern right now is to protect what little capital you have left.

Some say keep it in the market; now is no time to sell. They argue that sooner...click here to keep reading

Craigslist cleaning up its site!

2009-05-13T12:51:00.000-07:00

Hopefully, all you frugal folk out there have heard the news that Craigslist is now taking down all of the erotic services on their site...here is the link to their official statement. www.cnetnews.com

There have been several crimes committed through Craiglist...so let us all be a little more cautious while we try to save money and exchange goods and services.
It really is a wonderful site, and helps many, many people.

I found a great website devoted to past and recent crimes that are committed through Craigslist...it would be wise to check it out if you do any business on the site so that you will be prepared. www.crimen.ws

Be frugal...Be safe!

Your Local Library can help you get financially and family strong!...for FREE!

2009-05-12T15:44:00.001-07:00

There is nothing to be embarrassed about by holding on to your hard earned money and protecting your family's future.

I know, I know…you still need to have some fun.
So, I have thought of a few things that will keep you entertained for free so you can put your savings to use for your future.

Local libraries can take care of your family's entertainment needs. Instead of doling out the cash for magazine or newspaper subscriptions…cancel them immediately, save your money and get yourself a free library card to read the latest publications anytime you want.

Most local and city libraries are stocked with several computers with internet connection that are available for free! All you have to do is sign up for a scheduled time.

You don’t need to pay extra money for those premium cable channels…I am serious! Libraries are wonderful free resources for movies. Most carry the current releases as well as the classics.
Have a great family weekend for practically nothing and check out free films, magazines, books, games, and free internet usage.

Do you spend too much money each month on long distance calls? Write letters, or send email.

Even though you don’t have control over the gas prices you can save money when it comes to your automobile. Try raising the deductible on your car insurance. If you do this, you will save hundreds of dollars each year. The same thing goes for your health and home insurance.

Think this is too good to be true? Take a look at how much you have been spending on just the things I have mentioned above…you will be shocked at how much cash is being wasted on stuff that is available to everyone for free. All you have to do is just plan, and organize your time and efforts and you will be financially rewarded with saving a great deal of money. There will also be a significant difference in your family because you will spend more quality time together. And that is worth more than gold.

Thank you WalletPop and Julie Tilsner!!!

Celebuthrifty: Jill Cataldo: Using Coupons is smart and fun!

2009-05-04T15:23:00.001-07:00

I am a coupon queen.

I wasn't always. In fact, it's not even a title I gave myself. But two years ago, I completely changed the way I shopped for groceries for my family. Perhaps you've seen stories in the news about some frugal person gleefully purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for pennies.

Well, I am one of those people. And I've been getting a lot of attention over the past few months for something that anyone can do. I'm now dedicating a large portion of my time to educating other people in what I call "Super-Couponing," an easy and fun way to save money on groceries.

If you don't believe me, imagine walking out of the grocery store with 58 boxes of cereal and 40 boxes of granola bars, all name brands, for a total of $5.15 including tax. Or 66 packages of diapers for $7.92, also including tax. I did both of those things last summer and I have the receipts to prove it. Those weren't even my favorite deals! Believe it or not, you can even get stores to pay you to shop. Last summer, one of my favorite stores gave me a $20 bonus coupon for a future visit after I purchased nine tubes of name-brand toothpaste for 63 cents.

Intrigued? When I'd hear of people getting great deals like this, I used to think, "There's no way that can be true," while simultaneously thinking, "I want to be one of those people." Now I am. I've also discovered that it's a lot of fun to show other people how to effectively use coupons to save more money than they ever thought possible.

With the economy worsening and food prices on the rise, I began teaching couponing classes at Chicago-area libraries. At the first class, our library anticipated 20 to 30 registrants. We had 162. Local media took notice, and one newspaper dubbed me a "coupon queen." More library workshops followed with similar turnouts. My coupon workshops broke registration records and shattered expectations of the men and women in attendance, who had no idea how valuable coupons can be. But more importantly, people learned a new, better way to shop that will save them thousands of dollars a year.

Forget all stereotypes you may have about coupons. Using coupons is smart, fun and becoming trendier by the day. It's also not just Mom's domain anymore. Plenty of men and young adults are using coupons and enjoying getting great deals on everything from razors to roast beef.

The principles of Super-Couponing will change the way you think about grocery shopping and will help you learn how to save money in other areas of your life unrelated to groceries. In the weeks ahead, I'll share my knowledge with you.

By Jill Cataldo, a coupon-workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal. Learn more about couponing at her Web site, www.super-couponing.com. E-mail your couponing coups and questions to jill@ctwfeatures.com.

Living Simple and Basic will make you rich!!

2009-04-14T22:27:00.000-07:00

Living simply can provide you with a rich life. How you ask?
Those who already live a basic life have learned or were taught
that materialism always fails to deliver true happiness.
Materialistic people waste money, time, resources, even friends and loved ones in pursuit of the exterior display of wealth and success.
It is proven to be a very casuistic existence.

True fulfillment and authentic joy comes from breaking free from
this type of consumerism. Owning and acquiring only the things you
really need will free up your lives and time so you can enjoy what life truly has to offer. Get rid of the "pressure to have", the false economic burdens you place on yourself to create an image.
That's right....an image of
happiness and having.

Financial security is not about how much you have...
it is about how much you don't need to have.

Financial security gives you personal freedom to reduce
your participation in the consumption of unnecessary goods
and services.

It allows you to live more fully with less.
