Know what kind of energy exchange you're putting your change into.

Money isn't good or bad essentially; it's the belief system attached to it - how we choose to spend it. When I first merged back with the western way of living after my first big stint away from the corporate consumer driven world, I despised the system because I saw how it was failing. I chose to live by a friends words "You can live as freely as you want" and chose not to buy into the system. Over time, I have learnt that with our money, we have a say in what we want to see more of in this world. For example, we can buy into poisonous corporate fast food junk, or we can buy into local organic farms. We have a voice; a say of what we want more of in our world, by how we spend our pennies.

As difficult as it is, it's important to try to spend wisely and ethically.
