We have one life to live and only so many hours in a day. Downsizing answered our questions. It gave us a chance to shift our lives from spending our free time maintaining our investments to doing things that we truly enjoy, such as spending time with our loved ones, indulging in a few hobbies, creating, and learning. After all, these are activities that I want to fully explore before I die . . . rather than spending my life cleaning those extra rooms, mowing an ever-growing lawn, or spending the fruits of my professional work to hire people to do those tasks for me.

        In my opinion, eco-friendly products will be a good alternative only when we have exhausted and worn out those already manufactured.
