I’ve struggled with this sin myself in the past. We didn’t have much when I was growing up so when I could afford the stuff, it became a trap.

Interesting thing is, I was pretty much cured of it when my m-i-l passed away.

She had a place in NY and one in FL. Due to circumstances, it fell to my husband and me to be the ones to take care of the physical aspect of the property, cleaning it up, sorting through it, getting stuff to the people who wanted it, and unfortunately, hanging onto the stuff that nobody wanted, yet.

So the end of it was that I was basically cured of my attachment to things.

I do not want to do to my kids what happened to us, and I am sick to death of stuff that nobody wants and nobody is going to use.

I’ve reached the point where I want fewer things. Granted, I still want to live comfortably, but I find I just don’t need all that much stuff.
