Nobody has been here in a while Angelbee- I keep hoping they come back because I was interested late in the game.

I was involved in the beginning and "fell of the wagon" so to speak. I am jumping back in full force. I'd love for people to join me if they want!

I'm still doing some. It's changed how I look at what I buy, and has helped me see I didn't buy that much in the first place. Also when I do buy something new, I look a lot more at where it was made... and will spend more if I have to to buy something made locally/or in the USA.

I am planning on starting August 1st. I did a trial run back in March, but I need to do better. July was really bad though. My plan is to take back as much as I can today. I need to write a compact goal ( is that what it is called?) and write out my exceptions.

That is a great idea to take back what you're able to. What a great start!

I'm going to have to update my compact goals/exceptions as well. There are a few things that I need to get and, while I will try to buy used, I doubt I'll be able to. Accountability, for me at least, will be great to help keep me on track when I begin to waver.

I've been spending some time going back and reading the old threads. I have been considering compacting for a number of reasons. I know this thread is large and old. Do you think someone who is still doing this might be interested in starting a new thread?

Sure! I will start a new one if there is interest...

Also, for those of you just starting out, it's always great to join the BIG Compact Yahoo list... We have over 8000 members now!

Here is the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thecompact/
