I feel like that's a really simple equation.

You buy less stuff, you save more money.

There's so many other ways as well.

So when you have less stuff, you're spending less of your time at the shops, wandering around, just looking, avoiding being at home.

You might be buying stuff to look after your stuff.

So I mentioned last week when this

When you have stuff, it breeds stuff.

And so maybe you're at the shops and you always feel like you're buying containers or you always feel like you're looking for a storage solution, shelving or drawers or whatever the solution is.

You go to Kmart, you go to Ikea, you're trying to find these solutions.

And so you're then investing money.

I mean, the amount of money that people spend on containers is mind boggling.

And it's the homes that are the most cluttered that have the most containers because they think, I know what I'll do.

The way to save the clutter from exploding and a way that I'll manage it is I'll just put it in containers and I'll deal with it later.

They don't deal with it later, but they do end up with containers stacked up all over their house.

And so there's this financial benefit of living with less.

When you live with less, you need less house.

You don't have to heat and cool rooms that you don't even use.

They stay cleaner so you're not having dust and pests and things always coming and dust everywhere, mice hiding away because there's actually nowhere for that stuff to hide.

The financial benefits, right?

So you are spending less money.
