Steve, I’ve been staring at this one for a long time, thinking it wasn’t quite right but not knowing how to fix it. I just recalled Harrison Ford desperately saying “I want to complicate the hell out of my life” to Anne Heche at the end of Six Days Seven Nights as his declaration of a desire for a monogamous relationship, it occurred to me that this is not about simplification, but about building a foundation.

In our youth, we try on different roles and different actions to see which fit. Some of us never find a fit, and endure a life of multiple shallow relationships, fast food, job hopping, you name it, as if in an endless and destructive WHILE loop (I’ve written a few of those). You advice is to stop that, choose from our experiences, and build the foundation that defines who we are. Once we can do that, I think you are describing the benefits of that choice and the resulting actions.

@Mom – Another way to think of it – the mess we make of our planet today is what we leave for our kids tomorrow. Do you really want to leave them with something worse than 110 degree days? Because that’s where we are headed – you might not live to see it, but your kids will reap the consequences. What legacy do you want to leave them? I take the personal finance approach to the health of the planet: spend today and go bankrupt tomorrow… or invest in frugality/sustainability today and live well tomorrow… (that being said, there’s no rule you have to take public transportation *every* day – just like you can occasionally splurge responsibly!)

@Steve – the first sentence of #5 is on my favorite quotes list now! Unfortunately, no one has yet convinced me of #3.

We’re doing well on 1 and 3. One of our earlier “dates” was a cooking class although neither of us was afraid of the kitchen before. It’s great to serve a really good dinner and know that it would cost 5 times as much at a restaurant.
