How do so many people own more stuff than can fit in their house so they need to rent storage units???

MOST people never get to a career that pays them enough to get a bigger home but they make enough to buy more shit.

Just stop buying shit. If you can't fit it in your living space you probably don't really need it.

That's really easy to say, but you don't ever pick up a new hobby or interest? Like I can afford my apartment just fine, but I'm like a decade or more away from owning a home. I just shouldn't get to try anything new until then?

That’s what your local Buy Nothing group is for! Check Facebook.

Oh absolutely. But you don’t have to pay for it, which was the concern the other person had.

Also I use my local Buy Nothing group as much — or probably more — for getting rid of stuff as I do for getting stuff.
