We’ve jumped in full force to this study on 7 and we’re so glad you’ve been joining us! If you’ve missed any posts so far, here’s where you can catch up:
Month 1: Food &  Guest Post
Month 2: Clothes &  Guest Post

Here’s an excerpt from page 94 that captures what Jen learned during month 3:

A child says “me.” An adult says “us.” Maturity deciphers need from want, wisdom from foolishness. Growing up means curbing appetites, shifting from “me” to “we,” understanding private choices have social consequences and public outcomes. Let’s be consumers who silence the screaming voice that yells, “I WANT!” and instead listens to the quiet “we need,” the marginalized voice of the worldwide community we belong to.

Are you a compulsive buyer of things you don’t really need? How big is the gap of things in your house that you ‘need’ and that you ‘want’? And would you be able to give these items up? Let’s discuss in the comments!
