Default Re: Voluntary Simplicity Movement

You might start by committing to not buying anything other than food/other needed consumables. After I moved I realized I had WAY too much stuff. I went 9 months before my one pair of black shoes that I wore constantly finally gave up the ghost and had to be replaced.

You also might want to commit to hosting an annual garage sale and/or selling x (5,10,whatever) things a month/year/whatever on eBay/craigslist/whatever and freecycling/donating what you can't sell.
