Repeat after me: I only have the space I have. It comes back to living in the present. You need space to live a happy, fruitful life. If you fill up that space with stuff for “the next house,” your present life suffers. Stop claiming your house is too small. The amount of space you have cannot be changed — the amount of stuff you have can. . . . Hoarding for “someday” is never worth it. If you’re really going to be that much richer, you’ll be able to afford the stuff you need when you need it.
