Leads me down memory lane... in the military I would actually carry my own pack and bag - rather than the military issue ones - because they were so much lighter than the others. (I was a corpsman with the Marines and could get away with that kind of stuff). It makes so much sense, though, because many people have that one thing (could be their car/s, could be a house they can't afford, or clothes that cost too much) that keeps them from being pound wise. Getting those costs under control is the best insurance for getting a financial life under control over all. Great post!
