That's bullshit, IMO. You can own anything you want and live responsibly. If you only live to show what you own, or derive your self worth from your possessions, then yeah it's going to eat your soul.
But if you're grounded in who you are no matter what your socio-economic status, or internet notoriety, or how many "likes" you get or whatever, then your possessions are just things you collect that can either bring you joy or go away with no serious impact.
Exactly, this copout excuse to call that line brilliant is just mind botteling. I own my house and car. Sure they will need maintenance and upkeep, thats simply personal responsibility.
Don’t think its meant so much in the respect that you draw your self-worth from your possessions, but more or less they will begin to have a hold on your life and influence your decisions. Yeah, you can say it’s personal responsibility and ‘nothing in life is free’, but having a mortgage and 60k car can def act as an anchor in life.
Or be responsible and not buy cars you cannot truely afford with cash? Get that 10 year mortgage on a house you can actually afford? Money management isn't hard. People just overspend.
