Buy Fewer and Smaller Things

This one is easy for me because big stuff doesn't float my boat. However, I know that society puts pressure on us to buy big stuff and the thought is that the more stuff we have and the bigger it is the more successful we must be.

Here is another way to think of it; the more stuff you have the more work it is to maintain. Try simplifying and buying less. When you do buy, buy smaller. Consider a smaller home when you are ready to move. How much of your current house do you rarely use? For example, do you need a large bedroom if you only sleep in it?

Buy a smaller vehicle or consider having your second vehicle being a city only vehicle - something small and energy efficient. Maybe even try a scooter or motorcycle for city driving.

How many shoes or shirts do you really need? Do you really need to replace your furniture?

less stuff = less costs = more money = less work!
