Become Weightless – Your work, your joy, your currency

I’ve watched in amazement as my youngest keeps growing into achievement. One of her secrets is weightlessness. She’s a newlywed, they have a dog and an apartment in Manhattan. In the fall she will enter a Masters program at Penn. He will stay in their apartment and possibly get a roommate. She will rent a little space, buy stuff to furnish it and sell it when she’s done.

She did this for her wedding! She bought vases for centerpeices and resold them. 

She wears fashionable and designer clothing found in thrift shops and on ebay.  When she tires of them she donates or sells them.

She buys everything on a credit card that gives her cash back. She and her hubby make money using credit.

She’s paid off her college loans.

She dines out often using certificates. 

She is literally creating currency.

Her concern is not her overhead. Her concern is her head and heart.

She’s coming home to teach me how to do this.

Who knew I’d rather fly than be buried in stuff? 

Here’s an excellent blog by Everett Bogue on living weightlessly. http://tinyurl.com/2c939p6

    I love reading your blog, Lennie. Your observations profound.

    I’ve walked the minimalist walk before, but I’m not walking it now. Thanks for the inspiration.
