This is the new "American Dream". Whatever ails ya', the cure is more "STUFF".
Work stressing you out? Get a bigger TV. You wouldn't be stressed if you could watch your sitcom re-runs on 6 more inches of screen. But don't throw the old one away, put it in the "guest room". See a commercial on TV for a cool gadget that you'll use once every 3 or 4 years? Better buy it, wouldn't want to be without fresh baked "organic" buns when you finally (you never will) invite the neighbors over to grill burgers... How embarrassing to grill a burger and serve it on a store-bought bun. God forbid.
"STUFF" is a trap. We live in a world where we are taught from birth that the measure of your value as a human being is how much stuff you can acquire. I fell for that for many years. I didn't get rid of my "STUFF" by choice, it was forced upon me. But I'm grateful, I've never in my life been happier and slept better at night than I have since I didn't have all the "CRAP" to worry about.
