I like the quotes “I want to learn how to be happy with what I am not”. and "Frugal is just a result of your contentment." Very true.

I agree with you whole heartedly on contentment. Appreciation of what you have is definitely the key to contentment. Would this notion transfer to a career? Just a thought...

Expensive doesn't just have to mean in terms of money. Discontent can cost one much more than dollars. Thanks everyone for your input! You’re right, Marelisa.

I guess when we feel that there's something missing in our lives and fail to realize that what we need is to get in touch with who we really are and what we really want, we look for external ways to fill that void. And that can mean buying things, overeating, gambling, and so on. You know, discontentment can also be fattening.

This will really speak to a lot of people I think as I know a lot of people strive to be content through buying things, trying to live to someone else's standard. Really scary that a lot of times the unhappiness and uncontentment in our lives is self-inflicted. I'm glad you are on your way to contentment.. congrats! wow, great post.
