I find I need less. I don't feel deprived most of the time. But, I try not to be jealous and just think of the time when I will own the camper. I hold a Masters degree and have put my career in the backseat. For this reason, I have sacrificed my earning power in order to have a more scaled back work week.
Marriages take time, children take time, friends take time.
Simple living provides me with time to spend on what really matters. Think about what is truly important to you and what makes you happy. Weed your physical environment of anything that you feel is clutter 4. Weed your personal life of those relationships which you feel are destructive to your own well-being. Schedule TIME for yourself, time to review where you want to go and who you want to be.
