In the beginning, you own stuff. Eventually, the stuff owns you. At least that is how I feel these days. I came from a financially modest upbringing and worked my way through college. Once our careers were both established and we began making some money, it was good to acquire some nice things. But the sense of "been there, done that" has me going the other way now.
I have four Taylor guitars listed on CL right now, and sold one two weeks ago. There will be a core of three or four guitars and two ukulele left in the end, but there is a strong desire to simplify too.
