Mindful Consumerism

I have some reading to catch up on before I delve further into our religious conversation. My time for such things has been limited as of late. We are having a wedding reception in our backyard next weekend and we are working on a new financial plan. Between these things and work and kids, I haven't had much extra time. In the meantime, I would like to get your thoughts, Andy, on my previous post about mindful consumerism. I'm trying to stick to the "not buying anything new" idea except for certain essentials. I'm finding several unexpected benefits as time goes on and the best of all is a change in mindset about all the "stuff" in our life. Not only am I more aware of each item I look at or pick up in the store, but also about the things in our house. I find myself on the verge of going through another major de-cluttering.
