I love your thought--"Earn an experience" My sister and I are big fans of yours!

But i commend you for the fact if America ever gets attacked and bombed because of stupid choices like burning the Koran you will be used to having to live light. I would just curl up in my possessions and die. So for that I give minimalism 1 point. <br /><br /><br />If you'd rather be a materialist like me!<br />http://jackassinabox.blogspot.com/ZatchTheNinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608790280174266898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847501078144690192.post-17465146260213166972010-09-08T13:09:26.061-07:002010-09-08T13:09:26.061-07:00Just a quick question.

Teachers don't make nearly what they deserve to. <br /><br />Isn't it funny watching people who are so attached to their things? They base far too much of their personal worth on many of these items because they are things they have earned. But, why not earn experience instead?<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Dusti Arabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909694983772139373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847501078144690192.post-20207174226693039422010-09-08T08:56:44.519-07:002010-09-08T08:56:44.519-07:00While I don't know if I could be as radical as...While I don't know if I could be as radical as reducing my collection of things to just 100 (I love my quilts and pretty china too much), I certainly do appreciate your thoughts. We live on a teacher's salary, therefore we have come to appreciate our time vs. a massive paycheck. I helped out my mother-in-law clean out her storage before she moved a few years back. It was difficult to watch her struggle with her attachments to her "things" which was so easily replacable leading me to realize that I don't want to be like that EVER. I look forward to more of your thoughts and plan on looking at the books you suggested!katcollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060755014917411768noreply@blogger.com
