Owning Stuff Sucks: Why It Makes You Poor
I’ve realized in the past couple months that I really don’t like owning things. One of the big reasons is the cost that stuff entails.
Most stuff is a money trap. When I had my nice flat screen TV, I was always buying gadgets and electronics to go along with it. My car constantly had money thrown at it. I always felt like I had to get new little things to decorate my room with, to compliment the other stupid things I had decorated my room with.
Owning one worthless item almost always leads to buying other worthless items to compliment it. When I cleared out everything I owned and didn’t want, I was embarrassed to find bags of untouched feng shui stones and sand I desperately searched for and bought to compliment a weird glass vase I picked up on impulse and never really used.
Do you want to save money? Then stop buying dumb junk. It’s draining you in more ways than one.
