Recognizing Value
Just as your children have to learn the rewards of hard work, you have to relearn them. But trust me: Frugality really does offer greater psychic rewards than conspicuous consumption. Start treating the little things in life with more respect and it will carry over to the bigger things. When you start having an increased awareness of the value of your possessions, you can’t help but have an expanded cognizance of the value of other human beings.
