1. Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
2. Reject anything that is producing an addiction in you.
3. Develop a habit of giving things away.
4. Refuse to be propagandized by the custodians of modern gadgetry. Time saving devices almost never save time.
5. Learn to enjoy things without owning them.
6. Develop a deeper appreciation for the creation. Walk whenever you can. Listen. Marvel at God's creation.
7. Look with a healthy skepticism at all "buy now, pay later" schemes.
8. Obey Jesus' instructions about plain, honest speech. Let what you say be simply 'Yes or No'.
9. Reject anything that breeds the oppression of others.
10. Shun anything that distracts you from seeking first the Kingdom of God.
Taken from Richard Foster's book, Celebration of Discipline.
Think about it!
