Topic for the next VS circle?

Our next circle is coming up next week - Thursday May 8th. Continuing on what we talked about at the end of the last circle - I was thinking that we could talk about the thing no one wants to talk about: money. How do we earn our money, invest our money, save our money, (not) spend our money, donate our money in a way that coincides with our voluntary simplicity goals? I would love to get feed back if there is something in particular people would like to focus on. I can't wait!

Maybe we could talk about right livelihood? Thanks!

That is great suggestion. We certainly can include right livelihood in our discussion. I will try to think up some questions and find some resources and post them on Tuesday. ~Kirsten

There's lots of questions to start the conversation. For example, Who do you inherit your spending habits from? That usually offers info everyone can identify and relate to.

And simpleliving.net has a section for Your Money or Your Life

From YMOYL: Step 4: Three Questions That Will Transform Your Life
1. Did I receive fulfillment, satisfaction and value in proportion to life energy spent?
2. Is this expenditure of life energy in alignment with my values and life purpose?
3. How might this expenditure change if I didn't have to work for a living?


But I really want to know ... how do we make money real?
