Apparently there is a trend that is catching on lately where people seem to be saying that you have to give up all material possessions and own only 20 things or so in order to be fully happy.

Says who? The captain of random numbers?

They keep telling you that you don’t need this to be happy, or you don’t need that to be happy.

Maybe not, but what if I like it?

Please produce your source!

I can have 1,000's of possessions and yet I am still fulfilled - your article is full of nonsense!

What a shallow article - written by a person that has never found truth and upvoted by people from the same camp!

When you've walked away from a $1B+ fortune come talk to me!
