Quotes to ponder:
"When I see unused stuff around the house, I see things that used to be money."
"Material objects become a lifelong burden. Once you own an object, it owns you until you release it from your life."
"Spend money on experiences that bring you happiness, not things that give you or the kids short-term excitement, but end up collecting dust."
