we have a funny habit of acquisition. I have found that it is something to avoid or modify in consideration of our prior life styles where most everything that we think we needed would/could fit in the back of the truck.
so now we attempt to practice de-acquisition. But sometimes the memories get in the way.
I have alot of stuff now. And sometimes the 6 month rule just doesn't get used enough. And that little voice in my head that I learned from my Depression Era trained family, "hmmmm, I might need that some day." Tough habits to break.
but at least we are aware of it, and hopefully incorporate that thought process in to our future behaviors. Because in reality, most of it is either convenience or want, and need comes in a distant second.
