They aren’t my children! My Aunt and Uncle used to take each of their grandchildren on a trip when they reached the ripe old age of 8. They love talking about those adventures with me and freely admit that sometimes it is easier to get the kids to behave the way they want if the parents aren’t around.

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. Instead of buying new this year, ask yourself these questions: Can I borrow from someone? Have you joined the challenge?

Yet, how can you continue to donate to charity if you don’t have enough money yourself, or if you have enough, but nothing extra to spare? There are three excellent ways you can help those in need, even when you don’t have much yourself. The desire to help others is powerful. Use Swagbucks. Donate Your Time. At first.

We already know that we don’t bring stuff with us into the world and it doesn’t exit with us when we leave. Kids will naturally accumulate stuff, even when they can’t buy it. Because we don’t yet have jobs that pay much, we can’t afford to go get a lot of stuff. You want stuff.

So, you just keep it, crammed into the closet, back in the darkest corner of the deepest shelf – where it won’t be found until your kids hold the estate sale after you die! Wouldn’t it be great if everyone who will give you a holiday gift this year could just find exactly what you want or need! But how can they do that?

Hopefully this isn’t a reason used to justify not having children, they are well worth the cost! My aunt and uncle, now in their early nineties, just moved to one of these. So, depending on how many kids you want, where you live and how much you indulge your children, you could drop a bundle on the little darlings!

If I had been early in my exercise journey, I probably would have opted for in-person just for the accountability, but I didn’t need that anymore so I went remote. I didn’t relate to the homeschooling posts at that time so I ended up re-discovering her blog about 6-7 years ago and have been reading regularly ever since.
