Stuff
If I’m going to live in a van I need to get rid of some stuff. Even though I live in a studio apartment and don’t buy very much I still have too much stuff. I need to go through it all and see what I need to keep and what can be sold or given away. I don’t think there is much worth selling but I’ll probably give away a lot of stuff on Craigslist of Freecycle. It is kind of amazing that even though I try to only buy stuff when it is really necessary I’ve still managed to accumulate a lot of stuff. Not near as much stuff as most people who fill their garages with all their extra stuff but still a lot. It makes me wonder how much money is spent each year on stuff that is barely or never used and then just goes into storage.
The late George Carlin had a lot to say about stuff.

We just moved and we were astounded at the amount of stuff we had compiled over the past few years. We ended up giving a lot of it away, since we are heading overseas for about 5 years and couldn’t bring it with us, anyway. Some stuff we were selling on Craig’s List and eBay, as well, which gave us some insurance that we would have a little extra cash for the move.

I have an entirely different relationship with stuff now. We have lived in our 650 square foot house for 6 years now. At first we were just a young married couple, but our life has expanded and now we have three kids here. And it works. I love my house and so many things about it that we make the ’stuff’ stuff work. Everything that we have we love or serves a purpose.
