I can totally relate. I'm trying to not buy as much stuff anymore. "Do I really need this?" is a question I try to always ask myself these days. I think this video is very eye opening. Hopefully the more people that see this the greater will be our collective change. Cheers. @Dave – thanks for sharing! I can totally relate.

I can't believe how much stuff I have around, not to mention all the files full of paper records. I am slowly starting to get rid of things and not buying as many things anymore. That will be the key for me down the road... not buying any more stuff. I admit I am a pack rat but i am trying to improve.

Too much stuff degrades the quality of life rather than improve it. For example, my friend buys hundreds of DVDs. There's not enough time in the world to watch them all. As a result, he always feels like he has to rush through them rather than enjoying them. Not to mention the wasted money. It’s true.
