At the same time, I know it's best for us because there is less temptation to spend. In fact, our mall only has about 12 stores and we rarely go there. nancy - if you like a lot of trees and few stores, you'd probably like where I live :) Sometimes I feel sheltered because I haven’t been in a Starbucks, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bloomindales, Macy’s etc. I see commercials on TV for stores that are hours away.

My debt over the years was due to Starbucks,restaurants,and the rest of America's stores. Thank God there are no Dunkin Donuts here! I am moving to your area, I would love it. My consumer mentality needs to be shut down! lol! You rock Tricia! My debt over the years was due to Starbucks,restaurants,and the rest of America’s stores. Thank God there are no Dunkin Donuts here!

One of the things I also started doing was writing down every purchase I made and at the end of the week/month figured out where I was spending the money. That really shocked me and I changed my life style because of it. I stopped carrying my walet and nothing but emergancy cash.

Not to mention the mall right across the street has a Bed Bath and Beyond and a Macy's! It's not safe to carry your wallet around here.

I understand that not everyone works at Rockefeller Center (as I did until March) and passes several Starbucks on their way to work, and that not everyone goes out, or downstairs to the concourse, for coffee every afternoon. But you've never even been IN a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts! Wow! I spend about $30-35 on coffee a week. Now, admittedly I'm a caffeine addict, but I guess I thought anybody in the US who had a blog would have at least stopped in at a Dunkin Donuts on a cross-country car trip or something. (And speaking of temptations to spend, I haven't even mentioned that I can see Bloomingdale's out my window, and that when I come up from the subway I can walk through it. Or that Bed, Bath and Beyond is a block from my house, and I can always use something there.) My goodness, it’s almost hard to remember how geographically diverse this country is.
