No. Not just a first world problem. Where does the stuff we buy come from and how can it be so cheap? How do we dispose of all this stuff? Rubbish is often exported to dumps in developing countries.

I appreciate a good decluttering every once in a while but he takes it a little too far for my tastes. I wouldn't want to have to pull my bed out of my sofa everyday.

...yes, but they are still problems, and we are still only human.

For some reason his apartment post-remodel reminds me of the houses in The 21 Balloons. Now I'm all nostalgic for books I read as a kid.

Gotta ask yourself if your "stuff" caught on fire, would you miss it? Some yes, some no. Get rid of "stuff" when YOU are ready to. Sell some of your stuff. You will feel great about it. Perhaps sell it on craigslist, yard sale, or swap meet space? Donate some of it. And listen to George Carlin talk about "stuff".

Quality over quantity. When things last ten times longer then you save in the long run, more ways than one. However, $3000 for a toilet is definately extravagent it seems.
