We get so busy and we forever the important things I think. We get so busy that we just about throw away money rather than making money by reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Do you really think you need everything you own? Most of can’t say that! A good rule of thumb is that if you have not touched it in 6 months is needs to go. Don’t be wasteful though!
