If you don't have many possessions, then you don't need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have many possessions, apart from my books.
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.
The older you get and the wealthier you get, the more complicated life becomes. That's why I have as few material assets as possible. Every material thing you have is more hassle.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life unless I buy something.
If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.
In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.
A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.
Having enough money has to go hand in hand with living in a way that you're not being a slave to your possessions.
