things I don’t have that many do

· possessions

I’m not sharing this list to brag or imply that I’m superior in any way to people who have these things. However, I think such a list might serve as inspiration, to show that it’s possible to give up things we consider normal or necessary.

Things I don’t have that many do:

toaster
microwave
paper towels
car
car loan
car insurance
house loan
home insurance
health insurance
debt
cable TV subscription
TV set
hair
brush or comb
hair products
very many clothes or shoes
paper files
photo albums
gym membership
meat, cheese or eggs in my diet
junk food in my house
magazines or newspapers (nor do I read/watch news online)
a Facebook account
Instagram or Pinterest
ads or popups on my websites
affiliate program for my products
social sharing buttons
a suitcase
a watch
smart phone

Again, I’m not better than anyone who has these things. I’ve just found them to be unnecessary in my life, and I’ve removed them to make room for things I love more.

p.s. Yes, hair was included to make you smile, but also yes, not having hair is an intentional choice. I shave my head weekly. It saves me a ton of time in hair maintenance, and I never have to worry if I look good while I’m out & about. I always look good, in other words.
