It took me a while to realize that thrift shopping and bargain hunting are NOT EFFICIENT if you are making somewhat decent living. In my experience I ended up with things that I hardly ever use but bought because it was cheap, almost free! Who cares if it's free if you don't need it or don't like it? If you put your garbage bag with "Free" sign on it on a sidewalk, it will be gone in no time. Other magic words are "Sale", "Clearance" (I'm a victim of those too, don't get me wrong. This is not to criticize anyone). Get out of that mentality! There ARE people that can benefit from GoodWill stores but before making the trip there ask yourself, am I really that poor or I'm afraid to be poor so I better hold on to the money? The fact is YOU CAN NEVER HOLD ON TO YOUR MONEY! It will always find ways to leave you so might as well get the best out of it. Personally, I don’t care what others think about my purchase.

But why really? A warrior lives a tight life, not tight like a cheapskate, but tight in control of all aspects with no waste or skimping. There is no waste on the universal level, so model after that. It's all in perfect balance and harmony. Yeah if you can afford it’s easy to throw money around, anyone can do it. But why really?

Naturally, if you spend $30 for a meal, you expect to get better VALUE than if you spend $3. As Randy said - you are likely to get fresh, good quality food, rather than additive-laden pre-processed junk food. In the final analysis - if you respect yourself and your body (and you can afford it) go for the higher priced option. Now, if you find that, when you sit down, you don't receive the quality of food you expected to get, then you have 2 options: either you complain and ask for your money back, or you just make a mental note not to return to that restaurant again.

I believe that I understand the true value of things. I have never made a decision about purchasing something based on whether I am worth it or not. It is based on the fact of where I am in my life and the purpose it will play in fulfilling my purpose, vision, goals, and dreams. When thinking about this, I do have the though of not worth things when they come as a "gift" from someone else. My ability to receive needs some work and a check-up from the neck-up for renewal of my mind. Thanks for the great things you share with us all to allow this type of thinking and action to take place in my life. Make it a great day! God Bless, -ed Hi Randy,

I have started a new business, and the expenses have been way greater than I ever imagined. And the income has been way slower than I ever feared. I used to be free with spending because I value quality and fine things. (Not to say I wouldn't happily accept a sale price on an item I wanted to purchase.) But now, I pass on many things I would have joyfully purchased in the past. I am trying to be smart not foolish. I can barely afford my mortgage, and so buying a new pair of expensive shoes seems like poor judgement. (Duh!) In the near future my income will change, and I can resume old spending habits. My question is: I know my focus on my debt is attracting more debt, so how do I get out of this awful painful place? How can I stop worrying when the bills arrive? I wonder where I can borrow enough to keep me afloat. I know I am creating my circumstances with my thoughts. I imagine being wealthy and financially free, but then something happens to bring me back to "reality". Can someone give me thoughts I can use to shift faster into prosperity? I have done EFT, Sedona Method, The Work, Ho'oponopono, affirmations, prayer, meditation, etc etc. I am worthy of my desires. I am ready to fly. Yet I have excruciating debt. I cry every day. I am in wonderment at the thought of financial freedom even as I worry at this crazy place I find myself in. Any thoughts?
