Before you buy something, ask yourself:

Do I really need it? Where am I going to keep it? What am I going to use it for?

If you bring something new in to your home, get rid of something comparable. – Remember you have a limited amount of space and all your belongings need to fit into that space.

Your memories aren’t related to your stuff.  Don’t let your belongings keep you in the past – keep the memory, let go of Aunt Emma’s vase you never really liked.

Give the gift of experiences rather than stuff.  Ask for gifts of experiences rather than stuff.  Take someone out to dinner.  Treat your spouse to a round of golf. Take a family vacation. The possibilities are endless.
