Will it make my life better?
Will I use this to make is worthwhile before I loose interest or store it? Buy used instead of new- Do you have friends or neighbors that you could buy their stored stuff from them? Buy the basics- Do you need all the bells and whistles on the new pc that you buy? Do you watch all the TV channels you have bought? Use up what you do have- Drive the car until fixing it is no longer a viable option to a used one. Dont throw away the shirt just because it is missing a button.
Recycle, if you cant reuse- This goes for clothes, electronics, and household items.
Perhaps someone else can fix and use what you no longer can? Cut down on waste- Bake more from scratch, instead of heating from a box, take cans, paper, glass to recycle centers. Think smaller- From smaller portions on your plate and what you drink (do you really NEED the 64oz of soda pop?).
Do you need the SUV or would something smaller be fine? Cut down on driving- Make your time away from the house more productive by running as many errands in one trip;
