You Can Have an Amazing Life with Very Little Money

Why?

Because, you can:

• get free books from the library.

• create an entire blog for free on WordPress.com (though spending $5 a month to host your own website is better).

• take walks for free.

• brew your own coffee or tea and enjoy it for almost free.

• pray and commune with transcendent reality for free.

• cook tasty meals such as lentil soup, brown rice, stir fry, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, for very little money.

• check out CDs from the library as well as movies.

• drink a glass of pure water.

• take a walk with your friend.

• hug your loved ones for free.

• smile at a stranger.

• randomly talk to someone you meet at a cafe or on your commute to work for free.

• hum a tune.

• pet a dog for free.

• watch the wind sigh through the trees and rustle branches.

• watch a bee dance around a flower.

• write a poem.

• meditate.

• teach your child to read for free (with a book from the library).

Life is overwhelmingly rich in and of itself.  Whether you have no money or a bank account full of commas and zeroes, most of the joy and richness of life is just begging you to notice and participate.

This is a wonderful thing for us all.
