    Question 100 Thing Challenge...

    While thinking this morning of what people really NEED (and not want), I remembered (and somewhere in the archives of FV, there may be a post, but I couldn't find one) this guy that wanted to see if he could live with only 100 things and get rid of the rest. Here is his blog and I was wondering YOUR thoughts as well as what do you (as frugal people) NEED (or just feel you can't live with out)...curious. Take care and God bless.

    That's definitely an interesting thought...but, I own a lot of things and could never meet the 100 thing challenge ! Well, maybe if I counted all my knick knacks as household things, I could maybe get away with it...but I wouldn't want to try.

    When I first saw the heading of your thread, I thought you were challenging us to get rid of 100 things...now that, I could probably do and never even miss them.

    that's wild that he can sit and make a list of all the individual things he got rid of...if i made a list like that you guys would be in your 80's by the time you got done reading it...and i think my puter only holds so much 'bytes' of info anyway...haha

    i think i could live with 100 things....i don't NEED that much...however one day i woke up and all this "stuff" had taken up residency while i was sleeping...i must have left a window open or something...and i kinda feel bad just throwing it back out into the streets...my mom always said i had a soft spot for all the strays.....so since its already here and all....
