I’m participating in The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge. Are you?

Q. What’s the best change you made to the place you live?

A. Downsizing my personal things.

I wrote about this topic in more detail a few weeks ago. Enjoy the post peeps…

Our simple living journey has taught me that less is more. Having less stuff in my life has helped me establish the priorities of building solid relationships, being debt free and living lightly.

Success is not defined by how much stuff you own. In fact, I think it’s just the opposite. The intended function of stuff is comfort and convenience. However, stuff represents an enormous amount of time and money. When I had excessive stuff I felt both uncomfortable and inconvenienced. By minimizing stuff, I now have more time and money. A surprising side effect of the 100 thing challenge was becoming debt-free.

I’m wondering what some of you have done to downsize your debt? Leave a comment and tell me about experiences…
