Some of the items I have bought I have never used, before donating them to charity. Most of the items I have purchased over my lifetime, I have used maybe a couple of times. When I looked at my stuff, I saw all of those hours of wasted time, energy, and money drained into inconsequential items that I will never use. When I looked at my stuff, I didn’t see the same story played out, unfortunately. Stop Buying Useless Stuff – So Much Money Wasted “You are going away for months, and you have the same amount of stuff as when we go away for a couple of weeks.” When I go off to Thailand, my sister always comments on it. Especially when I am in Thailand, I can fit all of my stuff into a big suitcase. Of those days, when I had much more disposable income, and I spent my money willy-nilly on nonsense. The rest, I piled into boxes and piled into my parent’s basement, to come back to, as nostalgia hit me. When I decided to take on this digital nomad lifestyle, one of the first things I did, as we all do, is I sold everything off, and I gave away as much as I could. The truth is, I don’t have a lot of stuff, by American standards. They would laugh in my face, pointing, as they did so. Now, if someone from North America looked at how much stuff I have, they would scoff at me. The first thing that strikes me is that I have a lot of stuff. I am down there, dressed cozily to the nines, and I open my boxes. From the heat of Chiang Mai (CM), Thailand, coming to this dreary cold, I was not making the transition as gracefully as I wanted. I am standing there, dressed in a huge winter jacket, thick socks, and boots, in my parent’s cold room in the basement, freezing my bum off. There were maybe 6-7 medium-sized cardboard boxes. While I was there, I rummaged through the few boxes of stuff that I have left behind in my parents’ home, as all children do. Ideally, all of my family would move to Thailand, and we would all live happily ever after, but that’s another story.
