Have you ever really looked around at all the stuff you own?你真的看周围所有的东西,你自己呢? I have… it’s not a pretty sight. How on earth do we accumulate such stuff over time?  I shake my head as I wonder in amazement when cleaning up the basement, or trying to organize a desk. And yet I still see the “need” for various things and go and buy them. I “need” this tool… I “need” these vitamins… My child “needs” this toy… We “need” this food… and gradually it really becomes… I want.  So when I look honestly at my needs versus wants? Most of them are wants.  Sometimes I feel guilty for so many wants, but I enjoy the stuff I have just the same.Â我… …它不是一个漂亮的sight.â如何在地球上,我们积累的东西,如超过时间? â â i动摇我的头,因为我不知道在惊异时,清理地下室,或试图组织一个desk.â ,但我仍然看到“需要”各种各样的东西,去购买them.â我“需要”这个工具… …我“需要”这些维生素…我的孩子“需要”这个玩具… â ,我们“需要”这个食物… …并逐步它真正成为… …我want.â â所以,当我期待诚实在我的需要银两希望? â他们大多是wants.â â有时候,我感到内疚这么希望,但我喜欢的东西,我只是same.â
Perhaps in a few years down the road I will think about downsizing. But not yet. Besides the vast majority of the Baby Boomers are far ahead of me in that process.  Which brings me to the pondering questions I have about the economy.  If it is normal during the course of our lives to begin “downsizing” and not accumulating as much “stuff” then does that mean that as a nation, economically, we will not be buying as much stuff, and thereby we will spend less money?  If so, does that mean the savings rate will increase?也许在未来几年下来,道,我会想想downsizing.â但不yet.â除了绝大多数的婴儿潮世代是遥遥领先于我在这process.â â这使我要思考的问题,我有关于economy.â â如果这是正常的过程中,我们的生活开始“瘦身” ,而不是积累多“的东西” â那么这是否意味着,作为一个国家,在经济上, â我们willâ不买多的东西,和从而我们会动用lessâ钱呢? â â如果是的话,这是否意味着储蓄率会增加? Or will we spend our money on other things? Perhaps a little of both, but something tells me the winds of spending are going to change quite drastically in the years ahead.Â或将我们花我们的钱在其他的事情呢? â或许还有一点双方的,而是告诉我,风的开支是要改变相当大幅度在未来几年ahead.â
In this article from the AP via Yahoo, a Woman Tries to Sell it All on Ebay . Her focus is on simplifying her life… breaking free of the “stuff” that makes up her life to gain a clean start for herself.  I can identify with that desire! I also think that will be a new “movement” or focus for many Americans… to simplify their lives, to live more simply, to not accumulate as much. And I believe that too will equate to less spending in many traditional areas. This week I’ve been minimizing my health care expenses by not seeing a doctor. I’ve just had the flu and I’m finally walking around with clarity in my eyes for a change. I haven’t really had the flu like this since I was a child, but I ended up in bed for 2-3 days with a 102 degree fever and a head that wanted to explode. Many folks turn first to the doctor when they don’t feel well. I’ma stubborn sort who likes to handle things myself if possible.Â在这篇文章从鸭通过雅虎,一名女子试图卖掉它所有在eBay上 。 â她的重点是简化了她的生命…打破免费的“东西” ,弥补了她的生命争取一个干净启动,为herself.â â我可以找出与这一愿望! â我也认为这将是一个新的“运动”或重点,许多美国人… …以simplifyâ他们的生活,生活得更简单,不积累much.â ,我相信也将等同于少开支,在许多传统areas.â这个星期我一直在尽量减少我的健康护理开支没有看到doctor.â我刚才已感和我最后走动明确,在我的眼睛为change.â我并没有真的有禽流感一样,这一点,因为我是一个孩子,但我结束了在床上为2-3天,与1 102程度出现发烧和头部要explode.â许多乡亲先看医生,当他们不觉得well.â我顽固的排序谁喜欢来处理事情,自己如果possible.â
Maybe those same traits lead many of us along the pathways of handling our own personal finances as much as possible too. But my best remedy when I’m sick is Nyquil. I don’t know why, but it really makes a difference for me and helps break the fever. That and sipping Coca-Cola during the day. Now it’s time to begin cleaning up around here. Got to figure out what to do with all this “stuff” first!也许这些相同的特质导致我们许多人一直以来的途径处理我们自己的个人财务,尽可能多地too.â ,但我最好的补救方法当我生病是nyquil.â我不知道为什么,但真正让不同对我来说,并有助打破fever.â ,并结识各地可口可乐公司在day.â现在的时间,开始清理周围的here.â了出来做什么,与这一切“东西”第一!
