Raising Kids to Be Entrepreneurs

My boss suggested watching this clip today. I wish my parents forced me to put one pay cheque into saving while I was working part-time in high school. They trusted me to use my money responsibility. Big mistake.

Unpacking Sucks And Breaking New Furniture Is Worse

We moved last Saturday. I hadn't moved in 8 years, and now I know why. Where did all this shit come from? I've been unpacking for days, and I swear there's more cardboard boxes here than there was loaded in the moving truck. To top it off, the light at the end of the tunnel burnt out for me this morning. Our new house has a 9 x 7 foot den, that hubby suggested I use as my closet. I was finally going to unpack my clothes, after I built all my Ikea furniture. However, after spending 3 hours putting together the Botne wardrobe,  I went to stand it up right, and the damn thing fell over, and broke apart. The screws broke the particle board.

There's a twinkle in her eye, like she knows it makes me so happy.

However, every time I purge, I rationalize that I can buy something new, since there is now more room in my closet, or dresser. So it's a stupid cycle of clearing my clutter, adding more shit, clearing more, adding more. I'm stopping that right now. Why? Why not? I've been playing with the idea doing a wardrobe challenge for a few weeks now. Maybe something like a Capsule Challenge, like my friend Shelia did. She only had 5 pieces of clothing to wear for 7 days. Then I thought, go big, or go home. "Aim for the moon, even if you miss you end up in the stars". I've been really digging that quote lately. So that's what I'm going to do. Realistically if I can make it until Summer 2012 I'll feel really good. My goal is to actually get more creative with my current closet. ...
