Thanks @mrslauren. Its all good I don't think he thought I was being serious haha.
I used to feel like the things I owned were very important.

I was stressed about losing my lifestyle, but I didn't realize that my lifestyle and my life were two very different things. My interest in accumulating things was actually a negative force in my life. If I had lived minimally, and used solution based purchasing and scrutiny, I would have a different story to tell.

I would consider minimalism, check out the documentary on netflix, and see if it looks like a healthy decision for you :)
