Wow Kath, what a wonderful complement. Thank you so much. Unfortunately, too many people walk around with a sense of entitlement that they just can’t afford.

I understand where you are writing from. How wise the statement “Adjust Your Expectations To Your Budget.” It’s all in the attitude. Not everyone has the opportunity to have a better retirement, but they still have the attitude that has assisted them this far.

You and I must have been thinking a lot of the same thoughts because I wrote a post about my Dad about the same time and he taught me many of the same things! Hey, did our dad’s know each other? And yes, Debt free is awesome and the ONLY way to live in my book. ~Kathy Here’s my post in case you’re interested…. http://smartliving365.com/how-minimalism-or-rightsizing-can-prepare-you-for-retirement/

Debt-free feels really good. There are enough tough choices we have to make without worrying about money. Thanks for stopping by!

Living within my means is something I’ve always done as well. I’m also not driven to more and enjoy a simple life, mortgage free.
A lot of it comes down to choice and knowing that we have one. I hear “have to” way too often from those who over extend themselves, as if they have no choice. (#BlogShareLearn sent me!)

Hi Emma, yes thrift store shopping is always an adventure because the store is full of one-of-a-kinds! Thanks for stopping by.

I almost never pay full price for clothes, either. Finding like-new clothes at the thrift store is actually a lot of fun!
