Episode 3271:

Celena Carr-Thomas shares how she shifted her mindset from feeling deprived to feeling challenged by proposing a "buy nothing" weekend with her husband. Through simple activities like hiking, cooking at home, and creative crafting, they found joy and contentment, emphasizing the value of experiences over material possessions.

Quotes to ponder:

"All this required was a simple shift from the mindset of sacrifice to one of a challenge; from the feeling of lacking what we don’t have to one of appreciating what we already own."

"By Sunday evening, the weekend had sped by, we’d used zero dollars and we felt more relaxed than we have in months."

"It was a reminder for us to pause for a moment and give ourselves the space to consider what we want vs. what we need and that experiences will always hold more value than anything we could purchase."
