"come to view as necessary" part that I have trouble with. I have yet to find anyone happier because of "stuff." We bought the capitalist/corporate bs hook, line, and sinker, and we have no one but ourselves to blame.

Rant on. I mean, they just took down 20 acres of trees next to my house to build a storage unit business to store things people do not have room for in their homes. How do those people make it day to day without all that stuff in storage?

If we would move back toward minimalism, we could have the position to not support capitalism any more than necessary, not have to work so hard to put a roof over our heads, and have more time for the important stuff like family and community.

Okay, rant off now.
