Yes, I think you are right. It has been easy for us to collect too much stuff. When I started working on weekends, I realized how much money I spent at yard sales. I could afford the things I bought, but I was still spending money. Jacque, Definitely a journey. And some steps are harder than others. Do you know what the article was that you read? Can you please share more about it? I'm sure we all have "stuff." ;) Jenny, Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I might be on the far side of cheap rather than frugal, so keep in mind there are many applications of frugality, enough for every conscience. Mandi,

Jacque,
Definitely a journey. And some steps are harder than others.

Do you know what the article was that you read? Can you please share more about it? I’m sure we all have “stuff.” ;)

Jenny,
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Most of us have to re-train our brains and habits. We buy used and on sale and try not to buy things we really don't need. It is hard, isn't it? We have gotten rid of truckloads of clothing I had saved up and other things we just don't need at all. I read a post a couple of years ago that changed my mind about "stuff". This was a great addition to the Carnival. http://jacquedixon.com/?p=3843 Thanks! :) blessings~ This is a journey, I think. Most of us have to re-train our brains and habits.
