Misty...I could have wriiten the same post. I am 62, lived through all kinds of different levels of economics...I am sure many would pity me, but we all lived the same back then...one pair of shoes for Sunday and one pair for school...I can not remember going without anything we really needed, but what we wanted was saved for a special occasion like Christmas...I have so much stuff now it is embarassing and I have majorly decluttered and downsized my life lately...
For some people a time comes in their life when they like to see just how little they can own and be happy....but if you have the money to buy what you want, doing without is different then not having the money and doing without...those two need to blend more in a persons life. |
