Mark Pilgrim had a blog post that was then reblogged by someone else (Mark no longer has a blog): The Pursuit of Happiness
- Stop buying stuff you don’t need
- Pay off all your credit cards
- Get rid of all the stuff that doesn’t fit in your house/apartment (storage lockers, etc.)
- Get rid of all the stuff that doesn’t fit on the first floor of your house (attic, garage, etc.)
- Get rid of all the stuff that doesn’t fit in one room of your house
- Get rid of all the stuff that doesn’t fit in a suitcase
- Get rid of all the stuff that doesn’t fit in a backpack
- Get rid of the backpack
Like the person I linked to, I think about this post a lot.
(I can’t remember if I’ve blogged this before, but I think about this so much I feel it deserves blogging multiple times)
