3. Be conscious of waste. "Ask yourself, ‘What can I live without?’" This has always been important to me, but is now my constant subtext every time I step into a grocery store, browse an online retail site or watch a television commercial. It’s been good for my wallet. On the flip side, my husband worries that I’m not allowing myself anything special in my quest to live "without." He is probably right, and I’ll need to learn where the middle ground is here.
减少浪费。“问问自己，有哪些东西我可以不用买，但是还是可以好好地活下去。”
