People Over Profit: The New Economy vs The Old Economy

Great blog post today from Oh My Handmade, Jessika Hepburn asks if you would rather 'pay more for more or less for less?' and shares her ideas on a new economy where people are more important than profit. 

“Mindful spending begs you to consider each dollar you spend an extension of your personal values, creating an individual economy that centers on what you love and not what society tells you you have to have. It means choosing not to spend money at all sometimes, choosing to spend more on high-quality, well-crafted items that support your community, and choosing to spend less on items that commercialism has put an unnecessary price tag on.” ~Tara Gentile of ScoutieGirl on Mindful Spending
