hi! I read, but don't participate because I tried counting stuff, it is just not me. I tended to keep it in a place so I could actually count it... and you can guess how that went! I had a garage sale this weekend. I sold my stuff cheap, made enough money, quit when I wanted to, put the rest out for free at the curb, saved the books and clothing for donation and that is in my trunk already and will be dropped off Monday morning. I cleared out a lot of clutter. The weight off my shoulders is like 1,000,000,000 pounds. So that's my number!

But, on the other hand, if I'm in my "mood," I count every receipt, etc. It just depends on how I'm doing, and how much caffeine I've had. Good job, seekingpeace! Keep up the good work!
