I just thought I would add some of the "values" we don't aspire to:
Materialism: We don't care much about keeping up with Jones. We don't care about being seen in an Op Shop. We don't care what car we drive just as long as it is safe and it works.
We try not to value the Bright Sparkly Brand New: We like old things that wear well with age. We know that buying new things creates demand and depletes the Earth's resources. Happy to shop at Cash Converters for most things as a type of recycling. If we built a home it would be from recycled materials as much as possible.
We don't value rampant self promotion (ie inflated egos). We both struggle with celebrities and sports stars that have inflated egos. We agree that self respect is healthy but follow the old saying "Pride Cometh Before A Fall".
