Completely agree. “You don’t need that stuff.” It’s exactly right! We get all invovled with thinking that we need this new phone or that new TV, but we don’t. We really don’t. Learn to be content with what you have and you’ll lose your debt and money troubles because you won’t be spending money on anything.
Being content is *wonderful*.
Totally enjoy shawanda’s philosophy!!! It’s really important to understand that we all have more than we know!!!
I totally agree :)
Thanks for including my video! It’s always a pleasure to share my journey to debt freedom.
Thanks for doing the video! You’re awesome :)
So true. I actually bought a pair of jeans and a jacket for fincon. We budgeted for me to spend $100 on new clothes for fincon. Well, I didn’t even bring the jeans because I decided a few days before that the other pair of jeans I had worked just fine. They were a little loose, but who the heck cares? I was more comfortable, so I’m glad I didn’t try to squeeze into tighter jeans! And the jacket? I haven’t taken it back yet, but I didn’t even need it in fincon and haven’t taken the tags off yet. Hmm…I smell a $100 overage this month because you’re right–I just don’t need the stuff!
Yay for being comfortable and getting a $100 back :)
