It’s easier to go out for lunch instead of packing one. It’s easier to just swipe your card rather than budget. It’s easier to use credit than to show restraint. And it’s also easier to feel anxiety after you do those things rather than peace.
Are you trying to acquire “stuff” or “freedom”? Would you rather sit back and marvel at everything you have, but have little savings, or choose to have less and instead be free to do whatever you want with your time and energy?
The hard road is usually the good road.

We’ve been asking ourselves each time we go shopping “Do we NEED this, or do we WANT this?”
We really need very little. It’s empowering.
