The fact that we expend so much as we live and breath goes to show how much we cost to exist. More than affordable? Or more than the planet can bare?
The fact that basic existance is such a challenge tells us something. Does it not?
I couldn’t agree more, It tells us a lot, particularly about how society programs us from birth.
I think that it is admirable that such a big group of us have realised the error of our ways and are endeavouring to change our learnt behaviours :tup:
I’ve been reading bits of this challenge to my Dh and explained that step 1 was working out what you’ve earned and what you’re worth, step two was decluttering, and step three your true hourly worth his response….”oh did you skip step two? ” shows how much of my decluttering I’ve achieved :confused:
I’ll just keep plodding along with it at least I can see I’m getting somewhere.
The decluttering is a slow process here too. The best idea I find is to tell myself I have to get rid of say 5 or 10 things out of a particular room, box or whatever so that even if that only amounts to 10 pieces of paper it’s better than nothing and once I get started I usually manage to do a bit more than my minimum quota. I do the same thing with my kids and DH but it’s usually 5 ‘things’ that they have to tidy up. Now I just have to work on doing my minimum quota thing more often….
Hey Suz, I haven’t posted here of late – just letting you know that I’m still in the challenge and have been working through Steps 1 and 2. I have moved to step 3, and am still in process of decluttering. The whole “money = life energy” perspective really makes you appreciate every cent. When i analysed my hourly rate for work, I didn’t do too bad (no uniform required, live a few minutes away etc), however I think if I analyse my occasional ebay selling sprees, my hourly rate is probably $2! 😆
