I no longer had the energy to go shopping even if I wanted to, but I still wanted to save money so I pulled out stuff I had been given as gifts and had saved, unused, 'for good', for instance, cloth napkins. I find I am much more free about using things that were always put aside. Don't we deserve the good stuff all the time? I wonder if that is why so many have the urge to shop and then put things away when they get they home. There is a huge generation of us that always had to save stuff for good, so even if you buy, you can't bring yourself to use it. When I became disabled, my lifestyle changed radically.

I'm paying off my last credit card in February, but that doesn't mean I plan to live any differently. Life is more meaningful and interesting living this way.

It's often that stuff that I "discover" when shopping in my own home. It's always such a thrill to find something "new" that didn't cost anything!

What a great idea. After I read your article, I looked around my office and can immediately find 3 books I bought and have never read. I'll have to remember your thoughts when I am bored and want to go out and get "something" I absolutely LOVE this post. What a great idea.
