This article makes a good case for simplicity leading to peace of mind and enjoyment of life.

Yes, it does. I'm finally realizing that, after decades of accumulating 'stuff' that I think I needed. Now, I'm in the process of getting rid of it - and it's hard to do! I need to remember this when I feel tempted to buy anything again that is not necessary.

Same here, but I’m finding it’s easier said than done in trying to get rid of stuff. Ran across a show on TV called Hoarders that I started recording. My kids said I’m not like that so why watch it? I told them after watching an episode it inspires me to get up and get rid of stuff so I don’t ever get to be that way. LOL
