In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua and Ryan talk about buying new and used material possessions with intention, purchasing products that last a lifetime, and being responsible with time and money when shopping for necessities with author and business owner Tara Button, and they answer the following questions:
- How do I find satisfaction with what I already own rather than seeking out ‘perfect’ replacements?
- How do I control my urge to shop?
- How do I know that what I really want is what I really need?
