Is Anybody Else Tired of Buying and Owning Stuff?

I know this is a sacrilegious question, but is anybody else tired of buying and owning stuff? Is anybody else tired of dealing with all the junk cluttering up every corner of the room/house/nation?

Kids have a melt-down when they don’t have the latest iteration of the (insert trendy electronica here) or if they are asked to tidy up the gargantuan collection of “stuff” they are slowly suffocating themselves with. Most kids these days don’t have bedrooms anymore … they have a small warehouse of goods in which they have a sleeping space.
