in Free books for the Kindle on Letter Never Sent
I totally agree on the need to cut the clutter, BUT I'm so in love with real books. There's something about the feel of the paper in my hands.
However, I do make a point to shop only at half-price books or buy used books off Amazon... I love the idea that I'm reading something that someone else already read. And then, I only hold onto the ones that really spoke to me... the others go back into the stream. The idea is that someday I can have one of those cool libraries at home, full of all the stories I know and love. Geeky and sad, but we've all got our dreams.

This is a really cool post. The only problem I've had is that financial institutions have it in their best interest to have you save $ and invest with them. Like, the preferred goal is for the majority of people to be investing for their retirement. (cuz then the market is strong and they make $ off commissions) My thing is, when do you get a chance to enjoy your money now? If cable TV or netflix adds more to my life now, why cut that out? You're not guaranteed when/if retirement will happen. I guess it just comes down to all things in moderation for me...

wow, you've totally made me think that I should look into TM. (I'm a long-time lurker, first-time commenter) I totally want to be like that guy in your group... self-effacing but quietly confident. Thanks for the great blog!
