I have become very anti-stuff over the past several years of my life and would much rather have my money to spend on experiences. Consumerism at Christmas has been overwhelming to me for many, many years now. It baffles me that when holidays and birthdays come around, we buy things regardless of the need. What I mean by that is...I have several family members who are impossible to buy for b/c they already have everything. Yet, we would buy junk or things that we know would just get shoved in a closet, just to have something to give. It really is sad, and we have worked slowly to correct that in our own lives. Thanks for writing such a great article! This is the first article that I’ve read on this site, and I really liked it!

Very well said. My husband and I believe all of these things and really try hard not to buy into all the cultural hype and materialism, especially at Christmas. Joy and contentment do not come from having stuff, emptiness cannot be filled with things. It is a hard concept to grasp, and we struggle with it, but hope to teach our children the TRUTH!

Great post :)) Thanks to both of you for all that you do here. Hmmm….I’ve always suspected the income/happiness correlation, but I’ve never seen it so well documented. Great post :))

I know you guys are busy (how Dana keeps up with this site I will never fathom but am so appreciative of) but the male perspective is so important--especially when using to convert others!
