We are emotionally attached to our stuff, right? We've created this whole story around it. My aunt gave it to me, but she's passed away and I can't possibly get rid of it because she'll be angry at me. I paid good money for this. I never use it, but it was expensive.

But because we've told ourselves this story that this is somehow important, then we're financially taxing ourselves. And I think that's the thing to understand.

Where you connect with your family over the dinner table or get a good night's sleep. But if it's so full of stuff that it can't function, it's detracting from you. Look, they've done the science.
