And then I looked around my house and thought, "Nope! I'd rather not bring anything else in here today!"It was a good feeling. But TJ definitely tempts me on a regular basis.

It's a shame that so many of us start out adult lives so deep in debt, but my story is the same. Credit card debt from using it as an emergency fund or shopping for THINGS I don't need, and student loan debt. Ugh.I feel you on the coveting of the THINGS. But honestly, if you go on a things fast and just stop buying what you don't need for just a couple months, you WILL get over that. I still struggle with it, but it seems the more I indulge myself and buy things, the more I WANT. When I wasn't buying anything, I wasn't in those stores shopping, and it was a lot easier to resist. Your perspective on what you want and need changes after a few months of frugality.Best of luck! I think you'll be thrilled at how quickly things turn around for you now. As they say, the hardest part is admitting you have a problem and coming up with a plan to do something about it! .-= Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://livingwellonless.com/2010/03/03/endlessly-waiting/" rel="nofollow">Endlessly waiting</a> =-.
