I'm in a similar situation as the author, in that most of the 'stuff' in my life are facilitators for my hobbies and passions in life outside of work.
When people walk into my home office and see the number of guitars, amps and pedals lying around, they are often taken aback. I do have a lot of music gear, but they are integral to me winding down and de-stressing from my developer life and exploring another creative side of my life.
When people ask me why I need about 10 guitars lying around and to downsize to just a couple, I say "No can do... each instrument is so different, and intended for a different purpose so I can't simply achieve all that with just one or two".
- alias_neo 8y agoIt doesn't matter what you replace the word "guitars" with. People that don't understand your craft will always suggest you have too many of something. Contrary to popular belief, 2 screwdrivers is not enough for any situation. A size 10 spanner will not fit every nut, and who only has a single sharp knife in their kitchen?
- mpol 8y agoMy stance on similar issues is, as long as I use all 10 of those guitars, I would want to keep them. I have 4 bicycles, and I use all 4 of them. When I don't use one anymore, it will have to go. Things are to be used and enjoyed. I have no interest in keeping a museum.
