More importantly, have you fig- ured out how to do that? To live below your means is to create a lifestyle you can pay for with money left over. Living below your means in this high-pressure, credit-based, gotta- have-it-all-right-now society is not exactly easy. It takes skill and deter- mination to go against the tide and buck a system that encourages spending all we have now plus what we hope we'll get in the future. Here's the secret for living below your means: Buy what you need; want what you have. That's it. Eight words that could change your life forever. Eight words that point the way to contentment. A while back, I read that the average American adult is the target of some 3,500 commercial ads in a single day. How outrageous is that? Sure, we live in a highly commer- cialized society, but 3,500 ads? In a single day? I figured that had to be a gross exaggeration. I decided to conduct my own test. I would count the ads I heard or saw in my typical day. I knew it wouldn't come anywhere close to 3,500. The next morning, the radio alarm sounded, and before I even could open my eyes, I needed to put two hash marks on my score pad. So prolific were the ads on tele- vision I barely could keep an accurate count and get ready at the same time. Of course, I had to count every message, banner, business placard, real estate sign, billboard, license plate frame, bumper sticker, commer- cial vehicle and bus I saw on the way to work, all the while being careful not to miss any radio ads. Good thing I wasn't behind the wheel. Reading the newspa- per boosted my count significantly, as did flip- ping through a few mag- azines. Have you ever counted the ads in a typi- cal women's magazine? Try it sometime. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Logging on to the Internet shot my count through the roof. The mail arrived at 10 a.m., and that's when I surrendered. Not only was it impossible to get anything done while counting the commercial influences on my fairly low-key, ho-hum kind of a day but also I couldn't keep up with the pace. It was a mind-boggling exercise. So how can we practice con- tentment? How can we embrace the eight words "buy what you need; want what you have" and, in so doing, counteract commercial influences that attempt to sabotage our efforts to live below our means? We need to take back con- trol of our thoughts and actions from the culture around us, which works so hard to manipulate our actions. Recognize when you're being manipulated into buying something you don't really need. What's driving your deci- sion? Can you really afford it? Do you even want it? Never feel you must apologize for choosing the high road when it comes to managing well the money that flows into your life. Living below your means is a way to build wealth, reduce stress, cre- ate options and find peace of mind. It is an honorable way to conduct your life.

Free emergency good- ie bags will be available for the first 200 attendees. A low cost lunch will be available for those who attend.
