[quote=Anonymous]Most people already have what the need. We are a country of hyper consumers driven by 24/7 ads, on the top of taxi's, every webpage, the sides of busses, even at the gas pump. I live in a one-bedroom and usually have all I need. I use the clothes I have until they have holes then I cut the clothes up to make rags for the car. This morning I took two pairs of pjs pants with holes in them (very old, 100% cotton) and cut into rags and two old dish towels. I use these to clean the car. I use everything and don't buy much at all. This works for me and my tiny space hasn't been cluttered up but it take discipline. I know some of my family members use shopping as a hobby, I don't. They use shopping to fill their time, I don't. It makes life easier. When you think you need something, look around you might already have it or a excellent substitute for it already. That's my tips, use up ALL you have, then if you have to buy something do and use everything until it's unusable. I have saved a ton of money living like this and living below my means that I could retire early, very early should I need to.[/quote]
