Step 6: Valuing Your Life Energy -- Minimizing Spending

Learn and practice intelligent use of your life energy (money) which will result in lowering your expenses and increasing your savings. This will create greater fulfillment, integrity and alignment in your life.

How:

• Ask the three questions in Step 4 every month.
• Learn to define your true needs.
• Be conscious in your spending.
• Master the techniques of wise purchasing. Research value, quality and durability.

Why:

• You are spending your most precious commodity -- your life energy. You have only a finite amount left.
• 'Quality of life' often goes down as 'standard of living' goes up.

The wealth we enjoy today is the result of centuries of frugality of most of our citizens. Frugality means we are to enjoy what we have. If you have ten dresses but still feel you have nothing to wear, you are probably a spendthrift. But if you have ten dresses and have enjoyed wearing them for years, you are frugal. Waste lies not in the number of possessions but in the failure to enjoy them.
