To me, financial values means knowing my priorities, what matters most to me, what is worth it and what isn’t. It also means making the most of what I already have.
There is something about re-purposing, re-using, re-positioning what I already own into something different that really gives me a thrill. Shopping at the thrift store is a similar thrill. Though I am bringing something new into my space, the item is recycled which to me adds something special to its meaning, like a treasure.
Seeing such disparate items piled together on racks and shelves opens up my creative spirit. You really have to look, touch and ponder when items are juxtaposed this way. It brings a sense of presence to my shopping experience….and matches my other values of beauty and creativity.
What are your financial values?
