Philippians 4:19

We can maintain financial wealth, if we show restraint and discipline ourselves. In a way, we need to boycott ourselves, showing restraint of what we buy and why. 

Consider "boycotting yourself" for the next six months. Save, liquidate, show restraint and only buy necessities. Don't invest your money into things that don't matter for even longer. Be aware of the lust of the eyes. Don't even look.
