<p>I don't own a lot of stuff. <br>

<br>

Homes, cars, toys, etc. <br>

<br>

Yes, this is normal for many urban living people. <br>

<br>

But my perspective may be slightly unique to you because previously I did own a lot of stuff. Multiple homes, cars, motorcycles, ATVs and other toys for a vacation home we had, tons of furniture. <br>

<br>

It was fun, at times! But I hated taking care of all the stuff. Storing the stuff. Fixing the stuff. Worrying about the stuff.<br>

<br>

So, we sold everything (homes, cars, furniture, tons of other stuff) and moved into a rented + furnished apartment and just brought clothes and a baby crib. <br>

<br>

The most expensive thing I own now is my wife's wedding right, a $4000 used rolex, and my laptop. Besides that, I mostly just own clothes.<br>

<br>

Its been 2 years now I really, really love it.<br>

<br>

And just so this doesn't come off like a fart sniffin' holier than though post: I'm still materialistic. I love buying $300 jeans and other fancy clothes. And I will likely buy a dope house one day.<br>

<br>

I'm just sharing because I think there's this American Dream myth that as you grow up, start making money, have a family...that you have to do certain things. <br>

<br>

Like buy a house, get a new car often, acquire certain things. It's the American dream!<br>

<br>

But I think often times that just turns into mindless getting cheap shit off Amazon delivered daily, buying a big house to store all that cheap stuff you don't even like, and spending hours a week fixing and maintaining dumb shit that doesn't make you happy (speaking from experience). <br>

<br>

So...if you're thinking of opting out...try it. You can always go back. <br>

<br>

And if you just love stuff, amazing! Do that too!</p>
