We become amazingly creative when need things or want things and have no means to purchase them, ideally making them ourselves and enjoying them a hundred times more.

I've always found that I become much more creative in the kitchen the weeks when we spend less money on groceries.

It's nice to have enough but anything more is often a curse.
