evidence: Reading and watching Fight Club was one of my eye-openers here, and I can never forget the very famous quote: [...] Although most of us grew up in the great luck of not having to experience any deficiency or lack of things they desperately needed; still we were raised with some beliefs, like ‘keeping stuff even for unlikely events is a good thing.’ We even have dedicated rooms in our houses for ‘stuff that we don’t regularly use’ like attics and basements. Storage room seems to be a significant advantage, even bigger than having room for yourself. All this represents your past, which you still want to hold in your hands. I am not talking about precious memories like family photos or practical things you need and use a few times a year (like a waffle maker or a drill). I am talking about the stuff we keep because something in us isn’t ready to let it go: We keep stuff: [...] And yet again, a Fight Club quote comes to my mind: We buy things we don’t need with money. We don’t have to impress people we don’t like.
