Best Quote Yet

On Thursday I hosted my third intro session to Living Large with Less. Once again I was amazed at the quality of the conversations and the sharing that happened throughout the class. I am thinking that perhaps, we should meet more regularly like a book club might. Stay tuned as this idea evolves.

The best quote from a class member came at the end of Thursday's session. When asked for a tip to share with others my sister said, "Don't do anything (when Living Large with Less) that makes you feel cheap, embarassed, or otherwise awful." I think this is an important piece of information to remember as everyone is in a different place financially and our goals are all different too. If we focus less on being miserly, and more on why we want to live with less (i.e. travel more, save more, free up time etc.) then it will be easier to make the harder choices. However, hard choices such as NOT buying an item or choosing a generic brand, should not leave us constantly feeling horrible. We all have CHOICE. Choose what is important and be intentional in your plans. So please feel free to enjoy your quality cup of coffee or haircut, if those are places you do not want to skimp. And conversely, where you are willing to sacrifice be sure to remember the long term goals.
