And when does this acquisition cycle end? When will you have ‘enough?’

Most people never ask themselves this question, and so they keep buying more and more. Purchasing becomes a never ending cycle. There might be a temporary satisfaction by your latest purchases (retail therapy!-as glorified by the media), but soon that burning desire to buy something new resurfaces again. Your living spaces become overloaded with more clothing and jewelry and shoes…many of which you have stopped wearing because they don’t fit any longer or they’re out of style. Perhaps you can’t even find many of your things because they’re shoved into the bottom of your closet (exactly where mine used to be)!
