Will you really "save" money by spending?
Do you really need to give gifts to all the people on your list? Or might you honor them by donating to their favorite charity or with tickets to a play or concert?
Is it time to start teaching your (grand)children about giving (especially on Thanksgiving)?
Do any of us need more clutter in our house? We are getting new floors in our house so all the furniture (and most of the stuff in closets) needed to be moved into the garage or from room to room as the work progressed. As part of the process my husband and I have been getting rid of STUFF! Some will go to Somebody's Attic thrift shop (couch and double bed with frame) but a lot of little stuff will go into the trash where it should have gone long ago.
"It's time to say goodbye to all that stuff" Jane Brody recently wrote in the New York Times. Brody refers to a new book “The Hoarder in You: How to Live a Happier, Healthier, Uncluttered Life” (published Tuesday by Rodale Books) by Robin Zasio, a clinical psychologist and a star of the show “Hoarders.” If you need motivation to clean out excess stuff and to reduce your gift buying, read Brody's article.
Happy Thanksgiving!
