I have never felt as free as I do without so much "stuff."
I spent a couple of years living in Costa Rica and it was a lot harder to get stuff - which of course, then makes you realize how little you actually need. It was also amazing to be in a culture where people want to fix things instead of just replacing with new.
I joke that it's like realizing you've been living in the Matrix. Being sold to constantly (bigger, better, more)- to keep feeding the consumer machine. Meanwhile, you have no time to actually enjoy your life.

I can imagine. What a great experience!
Stuff, but it turns out, not the right stuff. So it's shopping once again!
