Stuff is worthless unless it's food.
Stuff fills a void, and obscures it from the owner of said void.
Until the Stuff no longer is fresh enough to maintain the enthusiasm that temporarily distracted one from the fact that they aren't whole.
You're better off without the Stuff. Just trading time to receive fiat delivers impact on our unconscious sense of self worth. Add it all up... you'd almost be better off completely broke yet enlightened.
But, everyone is different.
