Broke? Quit Buying Stuff

A wise old man once told me why North Carolinians were always broke.

"Sheds," he said.  "We build these sheds on our property and then we have to buy stuff to put in them."

That observation doesn't just apply to people in North Carolina.  Many of us are broke because we buy too much stuff.  Maybe we collect stuff?  I've got two blogs dedicated to stuff that I collect: watches and die-cast cars.

Didn't need it.  Bought it anyway!

If we didn't buy so much stuff, we probably wouldn't be so broke.  If we could cut back on the amount of stuff we buy, stop buying stuff we don't need, and only buy stuff when it's on sale, we'd have a lot more money.
