    Since vinyl was brought up, here's a question: is listening to music at home an "experience"? If one finds vinyl more pleasing than a digital music library, is owning records an attachment to things or giving yourself access to an experience?

    Great question

    Imho: vinyl sounds more musical than digital. It's also the thrill of the hunt for something scarce and amazing.
    I started collecting because it was great bonding with our son. Also, picking up a great LP that you might have owned as a teenager is kind of a blast from the past. ( the artwork and liner notes are cool too).

    How people choose to assign their belongings varies according to taste and interests. I train boxing and BJJ. I don't own a TV or any items associated with having a tv, but I have two sets of boxing gloves, 4 pairs of hand wraps, 2 gi's and a several sets of rashguards. 8 items right there (10 if you count the gloves individually), that other people would not have. One of the points of belonging reduction to me is the ability to be mobile. To not be attached to a certain place or situation because my "stuff" is all there. It also frees up a lot of income if you have to really think about purchases. That money I want to use to travel more.

    Where do I begin.... I have 3000 ties alone :smiley:

    Pack you entire house like you're moving. Cover all furniture with covers. As you actually need and use an item you unpack it. At the end of 30 days you sell or give away everything still packed.
