From 5 steps to taming materialism: “So much of what we hold on to is what we wish we were using — objects that commemorate a life we aspire to but do not have. The six books we bought a year ago and haven’t read, for example. We don’t want to admit that we’re not making time to read, so we save them…We instituted a rule that if you brought something in, you had to take something out.” [Hat tip to Adam]
