Well that ended kind of abruptly.

Romanticizing the past can lead to holding on to things you don't want/need. Avoid this! Almost everything is replaceable.

Things are only of value because you need/use them, not just because they are free. Free can be worthless if you don't need it!

So many good tips here!
-Don't ask for advice/knowledge you don't want, especially if you cannot say no to it.
-Don't emotional shop!
-Returning items is a waste of time/money!
-Window-shopping is great! And only buy things that are perfectly, exactly what you want or "need"

I know it is silly, but I felt I was doing my best when I put things fully away as I used them. I need to get back to that!

I really need to hear this one sometimes: Be solution oriented. Don't get so hung up on the "how" that you don't do it at all!

When I was first breaking myself of shopping habits, I did practice, "appreciation, not purchasing" and I really do think it helped! I may have to try it again!
