Love that line – “It’s not having what you want. It’s wanting what you’ve got.”

Good post. In a very disposable society, it’s easy to buy stuff and then toss it when the mood strikes. However, for us folks who make informed purchases, we get quality and plan on keeping our stuff a long time. I like the lyrics in Sheryl Crow’s song “….It’s not having what you want. It’s wanting what you’ve got..”

I also like the idea of giving things a value in terms of our time. How many hours do I have to work to afford that? Is it worth it? Ok, so that lovely handbag costs me 6 hours worth of work at my job. Could I live with what I have or swap/trade for it instead? Ya know, that kind of thinking puts things in a better perspective.
