Another option is to move money out of your chequing account as soon as you are paid (ideally into an investing account!). This reduces the amout I can spend on needs and if I do get caught into increasing consmerism at least I have already put away savings.

I am sending you healthy wishes over there!!!

Maybe pick up a few copies of Marie Kondo’s book and place one in each of the rooms for a subtle reminder! Haha… only stuff that sparks joy (and that you “need”) go in there! :)

If only we could have some of that wisdom in our youth!! But i suppose that’s the fun of it all… learning and failing and finally figuring ourselves out right before we depart, haha…

I love the idea of going back to a small apartment with even less stuff in the end though :) It’s such a freeing feeling!

That’s why the financial blogging community came into existence – to give ourselves a place to run and hide to!! ;)

Haha yeah… but you kinda sorta need a table to eat on, so I think you get a pass on that one :)

Yayyy!!! How freeing of a feeling!!!!

Excellent idea on swapping out the “wants” too so it doesn’t feel like you’re depriving yourself at all – very smart :)
