What do you own/not own that makes you different?

I don’t own a toaster oven. I don’t own a dog. I don’t own a child.
I think I own way too much *kitten*. I would love to minimize and simplify. Up until a few years ago I used to be able to fit everything I owned into my little Honda Civic. While wonderful life events have happened to make me put more “roots” down, I sometimes really miss being more mobile and less rooted.1 -

I don't have cable (but do have a TV because it was a fun investment at the time to play Mass Effect on a yuuuge screen, and now well, Netflix...).
I don't have umbrellas either (bought a few and lost all of them in a matter of days after getting them).
I don't have a car, or a driver's license. I move around by subway and a lot of walking, including for the daily shopping (which happens daily based on what I feel like). For distance travel for work, always the plane. My husband has a car, but unless we go for the monthly big shopping or on vacay (or recently at the gym because leg day hurts), I don't use it.
I don't have a bike. Or an LBD which can qualify for the thread with the same name here.
What I do have, is a collection of old film SLRs and a grand piano I'm trying to get rid of since getting it with the place. I mean it's cute and all but it's eating up ALL THE SPACE in one room and I think the whole house was built around it or something because there is no freaking way someone hauled it up the narrow spiral staircase. I might be able to donate it to my boss for the girls, fingers crossed that he solves with everything transport / logistics related. It would be nice, since they know how to play really really good (I mean a lot better than the bit of Fuer Elise I know) and they would treat it right.
(edited) Ah, nevermind.
Cable is outdated. Not sure why I still have it. Old SRLs are a lot of fun. And you need an LBD. You’d look stunning in it.1 -

Put her on the roof as a not so stealthy satellite dish.0 -
I drive an 18 year old car. I'm the original owner. Apparently that makes me different because most people I know like to buy new cars for the sake of having a new car. The only thing wrong with this one is the interior light doesn't come on when I open the driver's door any more... not a good enough reason to replace it.7

This is impressive. What kind of car is it?1 -
MFP is the only social media I have. I deleted everything else and my life has been amazingly better because of it. I call my friends and family more and an overly better view of myself6

I own an E.T. cookie jar. His big *kitten* head serves as the top and I can only fit like 7 cookies in the body. I don't think it was meant for cookies actually, probably alien ashes, but that's what I'm using it for since I don't have a jacuzzi or bedroom trapeze to show off to guests. *shrug*3

Have a TV, no cable, no satellite. Left over from when child use to use. I do not have a food processor, or instant pot. I have a nut grinder, that you crank by hand. And we have complete collection of Twilight Zone DVD's.1

Does not owning a smartphone count? I've never had one and probably never will. If possible, I leave my regular cell at home as much as possible.5

what about a hoodie
No. I mean i have a light jacket that has a hood but its not a traditional hoodie1 -
Does being a mid-30s woman who owns a pretty extensive Magic: The Gathering collection count for anything?

whoa that is some next-level minimalism
I think i just forgot to buy one 😅0 -
I still have a VHS player and the Star Wars films before the "special editions" were released. I like the dance scene in the Ewok village with the original music.3

I'm the original owner of my vehicle and it's a 2006 model...so almost 13 years old. No problems and don't intend to replace it until necessary. I like the extra money in the bank from not having a car payment.
While we do have a flat screen TV and blu ray player (both inherited from my in-laws), we don't have cable or Netflix or anything like that, not even local stations.
I also don't own a home. I've owned three in the past...lost one in a natural disaster, sold the others, just choose to rent at this point and totally happy with it. Probably would buy again, but not in a rush to do so.
Things I own are mostly pretty general. Not everyone has the amount of bed linens or art supplies or clothing and boots I do, though. My weird "luxury" type items I own would be our Tempurpedic king bed, Vitamix, etc. Oh and we have six bicycles in the garage, all functional.
I used to be a big time consumer of just about everything you can own and would spend thousands of dollars per year just on redecorating (like knick knacks, pillows, painting bedrooms). A tornado that took out my house really changed me, ALL for the better I think. I don't really call myself minimalist because I can't tick ALL the "minimalism" boxes...but I'm much closer than I was a decade ago.5
