This is what fuck you money is all about—not boats houses or cars, but the power to say no. nostr:note1tksheuv77vqmh3tlp8lk62f5pd70t0ewucczakh9ynqzqz9vxqcq2479xe

Saying no and driving away in your lambo to your house is much more powerful however
Perhaps, but the things you own end up owning you. To that I say no thank you. But to each their own!
If they're financed perhaps.
Even things you own outright need maintenance, safekeeping, etc.
As I enter that stage of life where, after a lifetime of acquisition, I consider how best/what to divest, I find your words particularly salient. This is true for me, to the point that I only want experiences, and no more “things” at gift-giving events/dates. It becomes stressful to consider the care and feeding of things, for certain people such as myself.
I won’t advocate for “own nothing” (though it’s a fine philosophy for those who choose it) but I will wholeheartedly advocate for “fewer better things”.
