One thought on “Pete the Planner: Look at all you get when you begin eliminating expenses

  1. “Keeping your perfectly fine phone for another year even though the new one has a button that glows. Looking at an online shopping cart and thinking, “I don’t even like half this stuff.” Realizing your car runs beautifully despite not being described by anyone as “sleek.” Understanding that you don’t actually enjoy any scenario that begins with, “We should really renovate.”

    OK, yes, yes and yes! I have an Iphone XR (“old” in today’s thinking), a 10 year old SUV and just cancelled a stupid item I was getting ready to buy from Amazon. Would it be fun to have a vehicle with less than 100k miles on it — YES! Do I want a fun new phone that does more than my current clunker – YES! But I DO have less stress not having to worry about these things right now.

    Fortunately, the only “renovations” I will undertake in 2026 will be to clean out the unused items in my basement to donate to charity and paint my water-stained bathroom walls. WHEN I get those get done, I will re-evaluate (and hopefully my husband will not have freaked out over these unwanted home chores). I am mostly on track, but the battle will continue daily 🙂
    Thanks for your insights~!
