Last December, I decided that one of my 2019 resolutions would be to do a shopping ban. I was inspired by Cait Flander’s book called “A Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store“.
The goal was to buy nothing for a full year. I was hoping that the shopping ban would result in significantly lowering my personal expenses and train me to live more mindfully with what I already had.
