A New Perspective on Material Things.

12/08/10 Kristin

Next time I just have to have that book on Amazon, I will remember this. My already crowded bookshelf will thank me.

“Coveting possessions is unhealthy. Here’s how I look at it:

All of the computers on Ebay are mine. In fact, everything on Ebay is already mine. All of those things are just in long term storage that I pay nothing for. Storage is free.

When I want to take something out of storage, I just pay the for the storage costs for that particular thing up to that point, plus a nominal shipping fee, and my things are delivered to me so I can use them. When I am done with them, I return them to storage via Craigslist or Ebay, and I am given a fee as compensation for freeing up the storage facilities resources.” – via Jackcheng in The Office of Frank Chimero
