What if you had to pack up your fully furnished, decorated home and live without 80% of your belongings for several months, could you do it? And what would you bring? I’m not talking about OHMYGOODNESSTHEHOUSEISONFIREQUICKTAKEASMUCHASYOUCAN situation or the world is ending in 3 months what will you do/save/treasure situation, I’m talking about a conscious, educated decision to live on less, not suffer without, but live on the sentimental necessities and practical must haves.
Let’s be real, none of us need a keurig, it’s a luxury. I don’t need 50% of my kitchen or closet, but it’s comforting. My husband doesn’t need 3 computer monitors, but it’s convenient. My child doesn’t need baskets of toys, she’s happy with a book and playing outside in the dirt. But we collect and save and treasure and before we know it our lives are over run with stuff and things, stuff and things that are unnecessary, but comfort us in one way or another.
I’m working on my list…
What’s on your list?
