We often fill our lives with "things" we really don't need, get into debt over excessive objects.

Throughout my life my main goal each year has been to get far from city life into the country similar to my parents. Avoiding many luxury items that may make life easier to rather invest into time spent away in nature.

The older one is we also realize that we arrive with nothing, we can take nothing with us, all those "things" slowly get sold or given away having less meaning as we downsize to enjoy another era in our cycle of life.
