Dh and I have been batting around the idea of blogging together but I couldn't figure out how we'd do it. <BR/><BR/>Now I know. Two blogs - this one here can keep being more day-to-day about how to simplify so you can spend your time the way you reallly want to. And then another one I can do with dh for people who are actually ready to give up their day jobs and change their lives radically. Because that's really our backstory....Jennifer Feddersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782759736489349546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871188456427326561.post-8646446425980015602008-12-28T06:29:00.000-08:002008-12-28T06:29:00.000-08:00LOL! I think your husband wants to look at this is...LOL! I think your husband wants to look at this issue "by the numbers" because that way is concrete and measurable, while you are looking at the heart or spirit of the matter. Even if you did halve your bills and possessions when you moved four years ago, it doesn't take long (four Christmases, birthdays, and a few good sales) for all that to creep back into your life.<BR/><BR/>Maybe your next family meeting should feature the "Limbo" dance. When people go under the bar, everyone else chants, "How low can you go? How looooooow can you go?" Then you can explain to your hubby that this is what you are trying to see: how to enrich your life with less. But, Living the Limbo is not as cute and catchy for a blog title as Halving It ALL! lolJulie Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412877288589970249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871188456427326561.post-23731260173488369652008-12-27T19:25:00.000-08:002008-12-27T19:25:00.000-08:00LOL!!!!Oh my!

We need that reminder that we don't know it all.<BR/><BR/>So glad, though, that your family is on the same page as you, for the most part.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and good job on the bills. That is an amazing feat in itself. We cut our bills, but not by our own choice. We had to claim bankruptcy and return some items that we were paying on. Now, we live without credit. We love it. We have no extra bills after Christmas. No cc payments to make to pay for Christmas. It's wonderful.L Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962784313696738727noreply@blogger.com
