Just remember this, you know, time's going to fly by, we're all going to die eventually, and none of the stuff you have is going to be able to come with you, right? The only thing that we can bring with us after we die are things like our knowledge, our relationships, and so having more things means having more things that you have to worry about, that you have to take care of. You know, I think it was Mother Teresa, um, who she didn't want to have many belongings because she felt like it would distract her from her life mission, which she felt like was to, you know, help serve the poor people in India. And to me, I find that so inspiring, you know, it could be that by focusing on accruing material possessions that you're actually losing a lot of the energy and time and focus that you could devote towards, you know, a worthy cause or a life mission. And at the end of your life, none of the other stuff's really going to matter.
