It's Independence Day! How are you celebrating? I celebrated by working at my regular job and wishing for the FREEDOM to just walk away from it.
That's what this blog is really all about, isn't it? So, I'm exploring my options and my budget. I'm figuring out how little I can live on without being totally miserable and feeling totally deprived. I think I can accomplish everything I want to - improve my health, drop some weight through the help of a place like www.loseweightfast.net, learn some new skills...I can do this and so can you!
I don't mind sacrificing and penny-pinching for a worthy goal. That much I can do. But I've really gotten to the point where I yearn for my freedom more than I yearn for possessions or status (which never did really interest me all that much anyway.)
If you've watched my auctions at all, you've seen that I'm paring down my possessions. I heard the other day that "we don't own things -- they own us." Oh how true! Well, I'm tired of being owned by things. Things have to be cleaned and maintained, so I want to cut back on the burden of ownership of just things and live a simpler, more frugal lifestyle.
How about you? Have you declared your personal independence yet?
