I've been spending a lot of time thinking about my resources (time/money) in respect to my values to see if they align. I'm in one of those rare moments in my life where I'm building up from scratch and I can make some real choices. It's a strange spot, I'm used to a type of life where you just kinda have what the neighbors have.. picket fence, SUV, etc...
It's a bit tough, as I'm a definite P, and I like to commit to shiny things (and shiny people), even if they don't fit in with what I want for myself. Like, for instance, I'm looking for a place to stay and I am equally attracted to spending more to living in shared a home with a fireplace, nice architecture... and as of a couple of days ago, I would've plopped down the $$$. But I *know* that I would appreciate the spare cash more to go out, and give to charities, and plan trips and much more.
I have already blacklisted the idea of owning a car, ever paying for cable, getting involved with people who aren't on my trajectory, etc.
Does anybody else take this as seriously as I'm starting to? What kinds of choices have you made?
