Briggs and I are thinking of giving up "materialism" (buying material goods) for lent! That means basically I will be shopping only at the grocery store for 40 DAYS! Wish me luck. We are doing it more for a fasting/back to basics than money, but the savings doesn't hurt either... only thing is we are BIG skiers and we decided that skiing is consumable... there-fore OK (kinda a double standard... but hopefully still a step in the right direction) Wow, great start!

I also made a commitment to spending much less in 2008. I have done very well on not spending on things that I don't need by not going to the store!! However, I am doing some painting in the house...is it absolutely necessary...no...but a better investment than clothes and other things I don't need. All in all, I think I am doing very well.
