Think back to all of the really nice "things" that we accumulate by selling our time to someone else for money. Now go find 5 of those things and see which, if any of them still make you happy. Could you actually find all five? Some get thrown away or might be collecting dust in that extra room that you might not really need. How many of them still bring you happiness?
If you could take back that time and spend it with 5 of your favorite friends or family members would you be happier than you are by having all of that stuff?
I like nice things, but I would rather get them with a coupon or on sale, and spend more time with people I love. My favorite and most joyful memories are of things I have done with others, not of things I have shown them.

I agree. I'd rather spend time with those that matter also.
