Happiness with fewer things

Great article in The Christian Science Monitor, Wednesday, December 3, titled “Want less, spend less—wealth is relative to desire.”

In these times of tight budgets and shrinking income for many, people struggle to maintain their consumption status quo, and it just doesn’t work.

Author Diane Cameron, sorts out many of the issues and explains that “Wealth is relative to desire. Everytime we yearn for something we can’t afford, we become poor—regardless of our resources. It’s when we are satisfied with what we have, that we become rich.”

She continues, “What we need is less desire, not more money.”

It’s a quick read and full of insight.
