Sam Lessin, founder of drop.io, lays out the true costs of owning things and rallies for liquidity. Awesome.
“‘Ownership’ is becoming an inferior good. If you can afford it, you should pay someone else to own things for you.”
My Liquid Life
The measure of a man is not by what he has, but what he can do without.
About
Why did I start this blog?
I started this blog because I hate things and I want you too.
By "things" I mean all that crap that clutters your closets and crowds your kitchen cabinets and hides in your basement. I'm talking about all of those ridiculous things that we attach ourselves to and in time become a ball and chain that holds us back from what we really want to do.
Okay, okay. Stop rolling your eyes. I'm not some dumpster-diving freegan who is trying to make some political statement against mass consumerism.
I'm just someone who doesn't have it in her to get attached to inanimate objects. And over time, I've come to realize that it's a character trait that lends itself very well to leading the ultimate liquid life.
A liquid life?
Yes. It's simple. And using this blog, I'm going to teach you how to live one too.
