Simple living does not mean doing without. With the economy in the condition it is in, learning how to make things last longer, or even find a new life are skills anyone can learn, and should. I do not propose going back to a time where we made our own clothing, and grew all we ate, but there are some of the old ways of thinking that could use a dusting off. As a society we have become very consumer oriented, and disposable. That is how we got ourselves into this situation, and that kind of mind set will NOT get us out!
   The simple act of making something last longer before tossing it can make a difference, along with repairing what you have rather than buying new. Growing a few foods you like can help stretch the budget, and there are thousands more ideas where that came from.
