"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." It's amazing how little we really "need" in life if we change our mind set a little bit. I know it's hard to do. I like nice things as much as the next guy. I don't know if it is a myth or not, but I have heard that every worldly possession Gandhi owned fit into a shoe box upon his death. We all leave this world the same way--exactly as we came in.
