Canadian Politics Today

I used to collect things maybe up to 10 years ago.  I eventually found it to be a hollow pursuit.  Attachment to material possessions you want but don't need is, IMO, not a very healthy pursuit much of the time.  I guess it depends on how **** you take it.  It can be fun, but I found it left me empty and always wanting "the next awesome thing in my collection".

Years ago I once moved from a house, where I could store tons of things, to a small apartment that could only fit what I needed at the time.  It was amazing how much stuff I didn't need and just sat in storage.  We all certainly own a lot of junk.

I wouldn't describe myself as a minimalist, but I've definitely leaned more away from material things as i've gotten older.  I rarely buy things that aren't necessity for myself anymore.  One good side effect is that I save a lot of money, hopefully I can retire earlier too.  But I also have the type of personality that doesn't need a lot to be happy.  I get that from my parents and upbringing I guess.
