Against Oniomania
oniomania (O-nee-uh-MAY-nee-uh, -MAYN-yuh) noun: Compulsive shopping; excessive, uncontrollable desire to buy things.
I just finished reading Not Buying It: My year without shopping. Wow. I don't think it possible to go whole hog on this project with kids unless you drop out of the culture or become amish or something, but definitely food for thought. On the other hand: imagine raising a daughter without Disney Princesses anywhere in sight!!! Oh, yes, please!
Highly reccomended.
