We don't spend too much time talking or thinking about it in my house, but we do periodically clean/throw out old junk that piles in closets & the garage. I agree with his point regarding being sanctimonious about it though. We don't brag to anybody, or even talk about it much. Its just a matter of doing something we know makes us feel better and thats about it. However, over time it does save you money, because if you have to move or change your surroundings, you only need enough room for your body and not your stuff. We're moving to a new house that is only marginally larger than our current house because we're planning a larger family (it also is a higher quality house too)... not because we need more space for stuff. Its nice to only consider your living space from the perspective of what you do in it, and not have to also worry about how all of your stuff goes into it too.
