Or do you keep looking for things to spend your money on to get?
I am ok with the clothing and makeup that I have. I do not look for new things to get, but when it comes to crafting supplies I am always looking for new things to try in my card making or my watercolour painting but all you need to do watercolour are a few brushes, water, paints and paper. But it can get to a lot if you hoard your supplies.

Are you content with the things you own?
Generally speaking yes and I make
whatever it is last,
for as long as possible...
not having a lot of spare cash at any given time.

I am not rich, but not poor either although I do live paycheck to paycheck. I am very happy with the things I have in which the Lord has blessed me with. If ever I am in a jam with financial it seems the good Lord comes through to make a way.
I have everything I need but there are plenty of things I'd like to have.

Further to what I have posted earlier Fleurette..
Having been born in the 1940's there was a
considerable amount of shortages re everything...
I therefore learnt at an early age more to address
my fundamental needs, ie food and clothing...
as a opposed my more opulent wants, that has
never changed, as a result I never get into debt
purchasing stuff I can't afford on credit.

The only thing I could not buy upfront for it cost
many times my annual salary..
was my house but that was the only exception.
And that worked out a good decision, for I now live
rent free and such an investment has increased many fold
for whoever is my benefactors.

Hello everyone.
This is a subject I think of often as I do not believe I buy more than I should or can but probably more than I aspire to need. I am starting to feel bad I get my nails painted but I do believe that I could be a lot worse buying more and living in debt. I escape that. Recently I visited with people who live outdoors and have a minimal lifestyle. It made for great appreciation of what I am given and earn. I will be redesignating my extra income to others very soon. Rather than extras I will give more of myself. That and be more grateful through prayer.
I bought my house years ago. About to pay off in 5

Hi Fleurette,
It would be real nice to hear from you again..
when you feel up to such a challenge...
at not before, you feel ready to communicate,
on a regular basis; as you did in times gone by!

I am excited to know that I have 3 beautiful guitars and that's all that matters to me. I don't need or have want of anything else. As long as the bills are paid, we have food and a roof over our head I am beyond happy.
Besides, it's just stuff and not much more. You can't take it with you. My guitars will be buried or cremated with me. It sounds selfish but they are mine and I don't really care about what others think.
