I was talking to a co-worker today and we got on the subject of consumerism, I am a big one and want to stop as I feel I do NOT need anything else in clothes, home items etc. I also feel my friends and family are blessed and have abundance, do I want to continue to feed into this Economy thing that clearly is broken? Do I want to feed materialism by buying unneeded "pretties" for friends?
I say NO
This inspired a few ideas...For the next year I will buy gifts in the form of food, crafts or experiences! That's right only food, crafts and experiences.
I know everyone I hang with are foodies so nice baked goods, handmade jewellery and fun times.
My hope is I will spend less, be more creative and thoughtful with gifts and save more monies to travel.
Wish Me luck and hey throw a few ideas my way 2 - 100 heads are better than 1.
Thanks
I hope I inspired a few peeps or had you
look at how you spend your hard earned dollars
