Will i have enough if an emergency arises.
But usually with me, after bills and responsibilities are taken care of,whats left is mine. You work your butt off for that money,so treat yourself.

If I don't really need it, I don't buy it.
Unless something is really necessary, "things" just become burdens as you age. Maybe it's different if you have children to leave some things to. But sometimes even your children don't want the stuff!
I think too much stuff definitely is not worth having. I wouldn't want my junk to vecome anyone else's problem.If I don't really need it, I don't buy it.

I was never a buyer. But my mom tended to buy stuff. I would always ask "do we really need it?"
Finally I gave up asking. It's funny because then she stopped buying so much.
I have given a lot of stuff away to thrift stores throughout the years. And some items to people I like.
But if I ever have to move, it's still some stuff to deal with.
There is a recent trend called minimalism that really inspired me to donate a lot of my stuff and not buy as many things.
I like the idea of only having things that you use or love.
