That book is on one of the shelves at my office. Perhaps I should read it? I tend to prefer self help by women writers.

I like thinking about what will enrich my life…besides just actual costs, all the WORRYING and needless anxiety I put myself through is not enriching my life. It’s good that I want to solve some of my big problems but going over and over it in my head (and then some) won’t fix anything!

Fast food definitely doesn’t enrich my life. We actually never used to eat fast food before we moved to this state, and it’s something that puzzles us regularly. For 2 value meals, it costs $14! We could buy 9 Costco hotdogs and 9 drinks with that much! 😀

This post really got me thinking. I am a bit skeptical of the concept as people can find a way to justify nearly anything and claim it somehow enriches their lives. Still it does make you stop and think about which expenses might not be truly enriching our lives. Fast food is the obvious one, but I’ll have to examine my finances to see what really is truly important for me. Maybe it’s time to sell off my car and downgrade.

In reply to Jai Catalano. I keep a mental list of places I can get some food fast, and stay healthy. Subway for a veg on bread is one of my spots when I'm on the road, or Taco Del Mar for a whole wheat black bean burrito.

Have you ever read “Your Money or Your Life”? The book advocates the same thing: spending on things that align with your values and bring you fulfillment.

A lot of people spend money on things they THINK make them happy but upon closer inspection, they really don’t.

I’ve been trying to find things that enrich my life, or at least that I enjoy doing, as enrich is a fairly strong word in my opinion. And maybe that’s the point. I think your advice above about finding what your values are and writing them down are spot on. And it is hard. And they may drift over time. 🙂

I stopped eating fast food in 2008. My wife and I were forced to eat ff because we were lost in another state. We were both sick for 3 days.

I with you and Michelle, fast food doesn’t enrich my life. It’s really just a convenience. I think my cellphone falls into this category as well; I don’t use mine much and it’s again, more of a convenience thing. My ipad on the other hand, pure enrichment 😉

I definitely agree that fast food doesn’t enrich my life. While at times it may be convenient, food at home tastes much better.
