Reference

I have been trying, this year, to buy fewer things. Not out of principle exactly, more out of tiredness with the clutter. The surprising part is how quickly it becomes a habit. After a few months, the urge to replace something that still works, or to own the newer version, simply fades. I have more space, a little more money, and one less low-level decision to make every week.
