Knowing when enough is enough
8 Enough is enough, and if you've decided to stop at enough,
you'll be happily surprised at how little that costs. Shopping for
the sake of shopping is an emotional illness.It's encouraged by our
modern economy that says that more is always necessarily
better.
9 Don't ust get hardheaded, stay hardheaded. Why should we let
them tell us what we want? When we really, really close our eyes
and ears to the glitz and plastic glamour of the advertising world,
how much really is enough?
10 On the other hand, you have to be comfortable in allowing
yourself to be only as frugal as you need or want, so don't deprive
yourself-or anyone else, for that matter. It's not about
doing without, it's about doig it better. You don't have to
give up meat to control your food bedget. You don't have to quit
going out for entertainment.You don't have to give up getting your
kids a TV/VCR combo for Christmas.
