Waste Not, Want Not (WN2): If you’re not thrifty, you’re probably mean


Hi! I'm back! And I'm back with something unoriginal (not mine) it's someone else's! I stumbled upon this great National Post article: Waste Not, Want Not (WN2): If you’re not thrifty, you’re probably mean

This article is part in a series by Post writer Jane Macdougall who describes its background: WN2-
As in Waste Not, Want Not. Where thrift is not only the new black, but your new favourite colour.
Thrift: the quality of using money and other resources thoughtfully and not wastefully. The premise of WN2 is that thrift sorts out a whole bunch of our current problems.Better than a shiny new gadget, thrift will improve your life. It can make your bank account richer, your planet greener and your life waaaay cooler. Did I mention that it will also make you richer? Yes, thrift can do all that.

That’s because thrift is sleek and sexy and comes in one million fabulous flavours.

And yes, I said sexy. Because thrift is creative. And there’s nothing sexier than creativity.

WN2 is going to show you how better choices can deliver a better life on a greener planet.


Check out the article I found- and others in the series- guarantee you will learne something! Here's an excerpt:

"My relationship with stuff is more realistic now. A car is not a panacea; it's a means of conveyance. An expensive watch doesn't offer an extra hour in the day. Pricey lipstick doesn't make your kisses taste better. Thrift is proving to be instructive."


Love.

Enjoy!!
