I don't know about you, but one of the reasons I am accumulating less stuff is that I already have plenty of stuff, more than I can comfortably fit in my house. I need to get rid of stuff before I can get more stuff.

We are starting to recognize that we don't need alf the things we buy. We are getting to the point that we don't own things, things own us. A sugestion, if you want to get rid of stuff, do it because you don't need the oject, not to get more stuff.

That has nothing to do with TFA, but good to know.

"My house" is rented, so everything I own is a liability. I'm currently getting ready to move again (to find work), and selling off some of the few things I accumulated since the last move (~3 years ago) since there won't be any space for them.
