I’ve had the “wants vs. needs” conversation with my own kids as well as students I deal with. Nice post.

Mark & PlanningQueen – it really is a matter of discipline, isn’t it. It can take a long time to break old habits. Well done to you both.

Trish – we have a “No Junk Mail” sticker on our mailbox so we miss out on all the catalogues. If I’m really looking for something most of the stores have their catalogues online now. I think a budget is a great way to help us think twice about what we’re spending. As you’ve experienced, it can remind us of where we didn’t do so well too.

FamilyOnBikes – What an exciting journey! I’m going to look through your site over breakfast. We are hoping to take a year off in the not too distant future to caravan around Australia. I’m thinking about how we can reduce our “stuff” for that. I can bearly imagine carting all our belongings on bikes Enjoy your next adventure!
