Can you be happy with what you have? Do you buy your way into convenience? If you were to tally up all the stuff you buy in a month, what part of it is unnecessary? You have twenty eight t shirts, twelve face creams, and a stockpile of groceries to last a natural disaster. Do you need anything? Absolutely we need stuff, can it wait a week? What if you tried, just put it on a list and waited. Can it wait two weeks?
We are so spoiled nowadays with instant gratification. Online shopping, two days, don’t even leave the house. It adds up and the house fills with stuff. Don’t end up on an episode of hoarders! Even when we become passionate about a hobby, along with the other seven hobbies, try to finish one, before hauling in another ton of supplies for the newest passion! My idea board is overkill, I would never be able to do everything I save. Again the internet supplies you with so much exposure to things you can do, all step by step and we just love to be creative. Then there is holidays, so many decorations, you could supply three generations with the amount of items that you display. Fill up the house and then all your social media with your seasonal prettiness!
All I’m saying is just think about it. Retirement will come one day, and then where does it all go. Finally you will be able to do all the projects. Then what? What if you need to downsize? Where does the stuff go? “This will all be yours one day!” It isn’t always a gift, it’s an obstacle for someone else to overcome. Think about it, can it wait a week, or two? Is it necessary? It doesn’t make you happier, if it did, you would stop.
