I don't own a lot of stuff.
Homes, cars, toys, etc.
Yes, this is normal for many urban living people.
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.
It was fun, at times! But I hated taking care of all the stuff. Storing the stuff. Fixing the stuff. Worrying about the stuff.
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.
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.
Its been 2 years now I really, really love it.
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.
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.
Like buy a house, get a new car often, acquire certain things. It's the American dream!
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).
So...if you're thinking of opting out...try it. You can always go back.
And if you just love stuff, amazing! Do that too!
