Although I'm not overly religious, I still take part in the fasting for the reasons you mentioned above. It has helped me get out of debt and stay out of debt. Try to be a vegan for a day...

Interested to see how this concept plays out in your life. Matt, I like the concept of "stealing your dreams". I may have to borrow that term. Tom…..nice application.

Matt,

I like the concept of “stealing your dreams”. I may have to borrow that term.

You're right, it's hard for me to avoid because I see holding back as a form of self-denial. I have, however, recently had to avoid many purchases because of the economy and my job situation. It really helps to have the framework you give here of resisting as a gift to myself. I watch the TV show The Biggest Loser. Some of those people are 400+ pounds, but they've decided to turn their lives around and are losing 100s of pounds. I can now see my spending in the context of that: By not indulging, I'm giving myself the gift of good financial health. Thanks Neal! I’ve spent impulsively all my life.
