Inspired by Mama Mia...The European Lifestyle

Week 3: Appreciate the small stuff!


   As Americans, I feel we tend to overestimate the basic needs. We think we need all of these materialistic things.  Anyway, you must resist the temptation to buy more and more and more until you've pretty much stuffed yourself, your family and friends, and your house until you just can't take anymore. After all, you know that most of the things you bought end up in the trash. Being in college I have learned to save money when I can and to only get what's completely necessary. I feel this should be enforced from a young age, this way when you get older in life you won't be so filled with debt and things you never needed. I'm not saying that every now and then a little something something is nice, but not every month! In fact, maybe you should just take care of what you need first and then save the change of what you saved from there can be applied to you. So, enjoy the small things in life, you never know how long you'll be there.
