Where do we spend all our time and money goes to show where our priorities in life are? What is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal. Living for today but with eternity in mind.

I have been struggling with how to strike a balance between how much we CAN spend, and how much we SHOULD spend... The rental lifestyle is a free lifestyle, and I don't want to feel trapped by my house, and I don't want my mortgage to trap me in my job. Stepping back and reflecting on our actions, especially when it comes to rampant consumerism, is always good. Thanks for the insights.

Well, we haven't pared down yet... we still have a good deal of clutter and complications. But I am ready to make my life simpler! I do want electricity in the house, though... *sigh* and a new kitchen. :) Hi Jeannine! Well, we haven’t pared down yet… we still have a good deal of clutter and complications.

Not many people are accepting of doing with less in their lives. When I was younger and raising my family I wanted it all as well and I had it all. But as I get older I no longer want all of that "stuff" I no longer have a huge house with a huge piece of land and I don't have all of the useless stuff. I admire people who can do with less.
