Its great to see so many varied reactions, thanks for posting the question.

I made myself go on a shopping ban for 5 months--no clothing, no accessories (although makeup was permissible)--to force myself to really think about my consumption habits and be choosier about what I buy. Nowadays I try to buy items in such a way that they fill gaps in my closet, i.e. a mental checklist of seasonal things I'd like to find, and if it doesn't fit on the list I feel less tempted to buy it. Financially, I've always tried to save as much as possible, and ironically, the recession has made me spend more: My high-interest savings account isn't yielding as high an interest rate as it used to even though I've saved a lot more, so I'm not as motivated to save as much. .-= lisa´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sololisa.com/2009/07/product-review-decleor-paris.html" rel="nofollow">Product Review: Decleor Paris Aromessence Ylang Ylang Night Balm</a> =-.
