That is very insightful, especially your $200 tithe. I know that I need to get better at tithing. Maybe my post was unclear. I was thinking that $2,000 would be for purchasing personal property only, and you'd have other money for food and shelter, etc. Thanks for jumping in! - Andrew Hi Pro Se,

We'd get much more computer for the money and have money left for something else. Although, I'm not sure I'd need a fancier bike than $100. Maybe $150. Of course, my opinion might change if I was riding the bike everywhere I went. Thanks for stopping by to comment! Andrew Glenn,

Go for a less expensive desk top and pour more $ into the bike. Regards, Glenn You’re not going to get much bike for $100. Go for a less expensive desk top and pour more $ into the bike.

That alone is a great thing. We should all think of ways to simplify our lives. I never thought about kids just enjoying playing with toys on display in the store. But, I can remember enjoying the toy store when I was a kid. It's definitely not a leap. Heck, I enjoy fiddling with the shiny gadgets at electronics stores. :) Thanks for commenting, Rory. I'm glad you've enjoying the blog. Andrew Rory,

How often I look around this house and wish I could just dump all the junk and start over. Your breakdown of $2000 actually looks quite do-able. I like that you include the laptop - and surely that solves the telephone problem as well. All the more reason for friends and relatives finally to adopt Skype. Why are they so slow on the uptake? IKEA can provide some good looking furniture for next to nothing, with the added luxury of providing a minimalist look to my house. I'm liking the idea of this already. Books for my daughter are catered for by regular trips to the library. And she seems to get a regular fix of toys by having periodical visits to the toyshop, where all the working toys are on display, and playable. I kid you not. It is a great help living right in town, so that most things are walkable. The only hitch would be work. I would have to think about that. Great post, Andrew. And, I must say, your header image is incredibly effective. Oh man, I long for the simple life. How often I look around this house and wish I could just dump all the junk and start over.
