I'm committing to living simpler because I want to be less concerned with things and more concerned with people and places and action. In my case, the economy has nothing to do with it. I make more than I did a year ago and have fewer expenses, yet I'm more prone to save and conserve than ever before. I feel calmer when I have less stuff, less clutter.
