IVE BEEN A MILLIONAIRE and Ive been homeless - Ive lived with multiple apartments and villas packed with expensive stuff and I've lived in a 1 bedroom unfurnished apartment with NOTING This is my advice. Own as LITTLE as humanly possible, but the things you do buy, buy the BEST quality you can afford / get hold of. But ONE quality item a year for the cost of the 40 items of trash you usually buy. Im a bespoke tailor now of historical suits, my clients buy maybe 1 suit ever 2 years, and they buy second hand as well. ---> I just bought a new sewing machine - actually its 30 years old, but its the perfect one for the specific task, its taken me looking every day for 18 months to find it in as new condition. As it happens it was very cheap - but I would have paid 5 x the price for it because its THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. and it will last until I pass away.

@codyrap95 I literally said " buy the BEST quality you can afford / get hold of."

@joeshmoe9940 I suffered brain damage in a mugging when I was rich - in the aftermath I was evicted and left behind everything I owned except my dog and some clothes and my car. I chose not to fight the legal battle to get the stuff back, hard to do when you are homeless. That was 10 years ago - turns out 98% of the stuff I left behind I had no need of. I have never had to re-buy it in order to live a happy life. The things you own, they really DO own you. You have to pay to insure them, to store them, to move them, to maintain them, to upgrade them.

@pennynickels5216 I hope you enjoy it and it lasts you a long time. If you need to wash the garment buy a bar of old fashioned white natural tallow soap, grate a small quantity off into a bowl of warm water and gently wash the garment just swilling the water through and around the garment. Rinse thoroughly and dry flat - dont wring it out - but as it drys pull into shape. Cashmere is a wonderful fibre but its short and fine, it will not stand washing and dry cleaning strips the natural oils - so after you have it cleaned it will get dirty very quickly. I hope this is helpful

@katannyadirkson6147 This might sound like tosh. But every month I go around my home and look for the things I no longer need and I give them away. You can't help but accumulate things, even inadvertently. But don't let unused unused items clutter your life. GOOD LUCK.
