You said: “It’s all in the attitude.” I totally agree! Attitude is key in so much (if not everything)!

Hope you have a great week!

Yes I totally agree with you. You need to figure out what is important and make do in other areas and choose what is important. Don’t buy on credit and save up for it. What a change that is from the world. But I think the world in the North America is going through a wake up call.

Thank you for your post. [0=

Missy, I was able to leave a comment on everyone’s blog but yours. For some reason I can’t access your site, so I am leaving it for you on here. I am looking forward to checking out your blog later when I am able to.

I think it’s awesome that you made that decision before you were married. That just saves so much trouble and heartache!

My kids never had a nintendo or anything until someone gave them a used one (that’s how we got our first dvd player…someone gave us a used one). We have a t.v. guardian too! We still don’t have a wii or whatever it’s called.

Great post! And good job! We have been married 16 years and decided before getting married to have a debt free life. It is great. We do not have wide or flat screen tv. We don’t even have cable. My DD has not heard most cuss words that are out there (we do have TV guardian hooked up to everything) and we are OK with that. She is OK tha tshe does not have a wee or play station or that stuff.

She loves playing scrabble with her mom (me) and battle ship with her dad… LOL!

I saw 5 clients a day when I was a credit counsellor who had the same thoughts as you originally did. They wanted it, they bought it. I am glad you saw the light and glad you are inpiring others to do as you did.

Great thoughts my friend! I used to be way more frugal than I am now. With the economy the way it is, I need to do better. You are a great inspiration. Keep sharing!

We’ve done a lot of examining purchases lately. There are so many things that we really don’t need and can make do with what we have just fine.

Great post!

It has taken us a few years, and too much debt to figure this all out..but I think we got it now. Sometimes we still get in a rut, and want what we want now (sometimes thinking we need them), instead of examining our current blessings and appreciating them.

Thanks for the reminder!
