6 d. ago I saved $36,000 by not buying anything new – here are seven reasons you should do the same

Life was genuinely better once I got off the consumerist hamster wheel, and it could be for you tooIn 2013, I thought: “Hey, wouldn’t it be FUN to see if I could buy nothing new for an entire month?” (which, I recognize, is not most people’s idea of fun). And, thus, my no new things challenge was born.At first, the premise scared the crap out of me. I thought I would be chomping at the bit for the one-month mark to arrive.

Having missed out in my youth, I thought that was that – until I took a revelatory trip with my sons. We’re going again this yearYouth might not be wasted on the young, but for the longest time I thought Interrailing was. When I was a student, as the 1980s became the 1990s, many of my friends took the opportunity to discover Europe by train and they all returned with amazing stories of discovery. But for long-forgotten reasons, it was something I was always going to do but never actually got round to.
