Stop buying unnecessary items for a whole year.  

This morning, I read an article about a family who kept a "No buying anything unnecessary" pact for a whole year.  It's hard to believe that someone, let alone a family, can achieve that goal.  The family includes 2 parents and two children.  They family thinks that a truly happy life needs no materialistic items.  The family only buys necessary items and buys substitute items to replace the wanted materialist items.

The head of the family decided that many of the items that they have bought are no longer in use or are interesting.  

I agree that living a simple lifestyle is better.  This life style offers more free time to spend with the children.  The activities can be trips to the zoo, lake, and the mountains.  

Not  buying anything unnecessarily for an year

This morning ,I read an article about a family who did not buy  anything unnecessarily for an year. Hard to believe who can achieve that goal because the family has four members,
the parents and the two kids. They buy the necessary items. The family think that the true and happy life needs no extra materials. They are very good at finding some substitutes when they want to buy something. The head of the family dreams that, most of us will get tired of all the materials that we bought when they are not in use.

I agree with the view point that we are not living in a simple  lifestyle and hence it 's better to find a way  to spend more time with the children like playing outdoors, taking them to the zoo, going for a walk with them by the lake or a trekking on the moutain.
So the children feels happy ever after.
