I 100% agree with you. My grandparents were farmers, and they could basically fix anything that was broken. My dad is the same. But he is already in the generation where scarcity made way for abundance.

In these times, we are drowning, not starving. It's crazy how much toys my kids have and it keeps coming. They can't even find their fun toys amongst all the junk.

You can buy anything at any given moment, and people keep giving you junk on top of it, because all holidays are now commercialised and you have to give and receive junk from everyone.

For myself, I have both the "maybe I'll need it one day" and "I have too much junk".
