Amy S
My name is Amy S and I am 42. I am a homemaker in Southern California and a clearance rack addict. I have bought clothes just because they are cheap and I might “need” them someday. My closet is stuffed, I own more than three times the number of shoes than I have kids and I have seven kids, so that makes for a plentiful number of shoes.
I wanted to join TGAAD as an exercise in appreciating how much I have. When I look at my friends and neighbors, I feel middle class, but when I think about all the people around the world, I feel very (almost obscenely) wealthy. I have more than enough clothes, but am in the habit of continuing to acquire, anyway. I want to stop buying for a year as an exercise in self-control and to prove to myself that I will survive without clearance racks. In the words of the author Jean Ferris, “More doesn’t mean better. Enough is as good as a feast, you know.”
I am also looking forward to a break from shopping for myself for a year. All those decisions I won’t have to make! All those receipts I won’t have to keep track of! All that time I’ll have for other things!
