Ombre Vivante Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 http://paulgraham.com/stuff.html I haven't thought of my stuff as being of any value. What I value is the process of finding stuff and then enjoying it by either watching it, reading it, listening to it over and over and over and over. You can't take it with you. Stuff...

Shawna Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 It's true. Those with the most have the most to lose. I find that during this recession I have been hit much less hard than other members of my family, simply because I don't have the kinds of extravagant things they have, so I have nothing to miss if it has to go away.

Earth-Angel Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 The only stuff I buy are video games and video game figurines. I don't have the space to store anything (as well as not wanting to have the possibility of needing to pack it and move it again) I tend to keep things very simple. I'd like to have somewhere to put my things, but I don't fall prey to the "stuff" temptations at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I should add that the "value" I place on things come from their intended purpose of being entertaining [to me]. I realise I have too much stuff, but I like a lot of it - and it shall keep me entertained indefinitely. Yeah, I have a lot of stuff and, at the same time, all that stuff amounts to nothing. So that, if I ever lost it all, I would lose nothing (Bob Dylan, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
