To celebrate our joint graduation from college, my wife and I will travel to New York City next week.  As a recovering materialist, I need your help.

I’ll be surrounded by temptation.  Can I stay strong? Will you help me?  This video is my plea for assistance and my promise to you.

So, will you help me?  My promise is two-fold:

1. To only buy 5 things while on my trip
2. Every item I buy will replace one I already own

I’ll keep you posted on my progress by tweeting every purchase.  I need you to remind me of my goals and help me stay strong as I near my limit.
