I used to own a lot and now I have almost nothing (not by choice), and I still prefer it that way. Money, big properties, even cars bring lots of headaches and worries that I am not so sure are really compensated by the upsides. I am not trying to be edgy here, of course having money is better than starving but I am pretty sure that most people could cut their "ideally fuck you money" amount down to 20-25% and still be very happy, saving the time and miseries of trying to get the other 75%. I was there, I risked a lot trying to get that other 75%, lost almost everything and now I realize I could have perfectly retired with what I originally had, by just implementing a few POSITIVE lifestyle changes. I am not preaching here, every life is different but that has been my experience.
