I don't know. I've moved at least 10 times in the past 5 years, so I've been forced to reduce the amount of things I own. For a long time, I would think very hard for every item I bought, whether I'd use it or not. But there comes a time when you want some nice stuff for a change. Some nice furniture, a big screen TV with a console, some equipment for your interests etc. The minimalist lifestyle is only fun in your early twenties and when you have no interests that require physical stuff. I've gone back from reading books only on my Kindle to buying dead tree books again, because there's just something about real books and a book shelf that feels good.
