Got No Money Guide To Good Living - 2
Got No Money Guide To Good Living - 2
Written by Cricket Diane C Phillips 2008
* I have an active living environment. This means a got no money good living environment dedicated to actively living in it. Things to do, workspaces for doing them and living by doing.
* You’ve got to ask yourself what you’d be doing if you had all the money in the world anyway.
* If its sitting around reading books - get some books. If its cooking special meals for people you love - get some recipes and do it.
* This isn’t a hard concept to grasp. I found it in a book once. Then I bought seeds for gardening and planted them.
* It was during a bad drought and only one marigold and five tomato plants grew out of thousands of seeds - about $8 worth of seed packets.
* But the seeds from those six plants have grown tomatoes and marigolds everywhere I’ve lived since. They’ve provided flowers and tomatoes in my friends’ and neighbors’ yards, at my parents’ house and I still have some today from them.
* If I don’t have a yard to garden - I just go and garden somebody else’s yard or plant them in the window inside the house. Its all the same to me because if I were rich its what I would do. So, I do it. Why wait?
* Between books from the library, books on sale, books online and books at the thrift store, yard sales and friends of the library sales - there are whole libraries available to own when you got no money and want good living.
* Be aware that what you have in your hand may be a library book before you stick it under the couch where the leg used to be. And, as soon as you use the dictionary for that you’ll need to look up a word. Better go find a brick instead.
* May as well not sit around thinking about what you haven’t got. Build it, create it, do it with what is around you.
* There is always something - some way to do it - somewhere to find it - some way to acquire it even with no money.
* In fact, with money is one of the most inefficient ways to go about it for most things most of the time.
* By the time I’ve shopped for what doesn’t really suit the purpose I have for it, I could’ve built, acquired or reclaimed four things (at least) to solve the problem that suits the purpose.
