And, it makes it extra fun after waiting 24 hours and deciding that you do really need it. I find that after waiting, I feel even more blessed to have it. :) Susan Yeah, a really good system to control spending.

When I find something I like I always wait 24 hours and if it still there, maybe I was met to have it. If not guess I really didn't need it. Debbie Good job Susan. When I find something I like I always wait 24 hours and if it still there, maybe I was met to have it. If not guess I really didn’t need it.

The words "when", "if" and "happy" shouldn't even be occuring in the same sentence. Happiness is just what you are. The state of bliss we're all blessed with, but few are committed enough to desire and hence deserve in our lifetime. True, unconditional happiness has no price tag. The feelings we experience 'when we get something' or 'if something goes our way' is not happiness - it's a fleeting emotion that will last until the next disappointment comes along. I guess that's what spirituality is all about - learning to say "I'm happy" and not " I'll be happy when...". Thanks for this post. Been following your tweets for a while, love your articles and am happy(!!) to share my comment. P.S : Your design is awesome! Am using it as an example/inspiration site to show my web designer what I want. It’s not happiness if it’s conditional.

We've just come through Christmas and the holidays. One of the most challenging times of the year for shop-aholics. I've made big shifts over the years in my spending during the holidays and throughout the year. There were times when it was out of necessity but now it's out of a sense of independence and embracing what I REALLY want rather than what's flashy, cool and in front of me right now. Much of marketing in the USA makes people feel that if they don't buy, if they're not in fashion and they're totally out of it. They're afraid Christmas won't be as much fun. Getting dressed in the morning won't be as pleasurable. And it's not true. I've learned to stick to my budget the last few Christmas seasons and get more joy from holiday carols, my favorite decorations, baking cookies with my grandchildren. Simpler pleasures. My closet is full but not bulging. Two years ago I gave a LOT of clothes to the Goodwill and it became glaringly apparent how much spent on stuff that didn't make me happy. Same with books. Now I only buy books after sitting down and really going over it to determine if it's what I want. I don't impulse buy based on the cover. As a result my bank account is beginning to bulge - rather than my closet or bookshelves. That's a good feeling - because now I can decide whether I want to go on vacation this summer for three weeks or four. To Europe or on an Alaskan cruise. Life is good. Thanks for the article, Susan.
