Great job. <BR/><BR/>I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about the 'want' items - I'd love to have the Dyson, the bread machine, certain books; it's like you read my mind but said it all so much more concisely and clearly. I have a friend who shops with a madness, and one who spends everything but never seems to know what it was spent on - and they can't figure out why I'm content with what I have and why I'm happier when I'm NOT spending. I like things smaller and easier to organize (with less "stuff" to trip over). <BR/><BR/>Welcome to Frugal Fridays!!!Meloniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218572127310877215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-77048800865951317702008-02-29T08:53:00.000-06:002008-02-29T08:53:00.000-06:00I think this is the best Frugal Friday tip I have ...I think this is the best Frugal Friday tip I have ever read. Not that the others aren't great ideas too, but we need to learn to be content with what God has already given us (I remind myself of that every time I look at my floors that really could stand to be replaced) Thank you, your post has gotten my day off to a great start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-55476154502384868872008-02-29T08:45:00.000-06:002008-02-29T08:45:00.000-06:00Your right.

We had these plans and they weren't fitting into place. So I did a lot of praying. God has brought me to love my little house and now I don't even want to build later. I just want to change what we have to suit us. I don't like all this fancy computerize stuff you find on appliances, just turn the knob and start. The simplier the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-84514089142013267822008-02-29T07:49:00.000-06:002008-02-29T07:49:00.000-06:00Thank you for your beautiful post!Thank you for your beautiful post!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979021807991506651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-59045368797912470952008-02-29T06:34:00.000-06:002008-02-29T06:34:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for such a comprehensive first p...Thank you so much for such a comprehensive first post! You're completely right, and I agree that contentment is the greatest thing a budget could ever have! If we concentrate on eternity ahead, we will invest most in others, not in things, and hopefully bring those others to heaven with us. In a world that says, "You're worth it; take some 'me' time", what a breath of fresh air to focus on someone else's spiritual needs rather than my own material "needs" Thank you again; your post has blessed my day.Sarah Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675219756751347204noreply@blogger.com
