Change means more spare change

It's Boxing Day and I haven't left my home, and have no plans to.  This is a huge departure from my normal practice of hitting the shopping circuit and dropping a few hundred.  Owning my own business has taught me some lessons on frugality.  I don't have a regular pay check coming in anymore.  I have to budget what I do have in case I hit a very lean time.  I'm finding it more freeing than constraining.  When I look at three overflowing closets I realize I have spent far more than was reasonable, especially when there are clothes I've barely worn, and some I'd forgotten I owned.  To be fair I paid for them myself, I don't have debt owing, but they fast become old things and have no appreciable value.  I should have been paying debt down on my mortgage.  I can't regret what I've done because it takes energy, I can only look forward and change old habits.  Today is a perfect example.  As I write, I'm in a tub filled with bubbles watching my new addiction, Sons of Anarchy, a far cry from throngs of eager and sometimes angry people fighting for the best deals in Town.  I feel a good change coming on....
