A house is only a home after you have loaded it with stuff. In many ways the shell of your life is your home filling it with a wide variety of new kitchen appliances and the furniture of your choice is what makes it truly your own. That is why so many people spend so long considering the décor of their homes. It is a cultural need for humans to fill the places they live with things that they feel truly represent them. Collecting all of that stuff can take years for some folks and obviously in a lifetime we will have a large amount of turn over as discount home furniture is changed over and new items are brought in to replace worn and torn older pieces.
Things are important. People use possessions to establish status and to fill the time between work and sleep with something other than internal angst. In the last few decades much has been made of the consumer culture and how it has torn apart our country and quite possibly our planet. If you ask me though, consumer culture is our salvation in many ways. Buying a new couch from a discount home furniture website is not the thing that should define your life but is nice for underlining the specifics of the human relationships and personal feelings that accompany it. Also, we all have to sit on something.
That last sentence is honestly no joke. We all have to be somewhere and our "things", a dirty word to some, are one of the elements makes "being" into "living." Self help quote marks aside there is no reason that we as a people should ever repent for feeling we want or, yes in some cases, need new kitchen appliances. Can openers break, am I to quit soup in favor of some sort of monk-like existence with hardly a possession in sight?
No, I like buying discount home furniture. A lot of it. It does not make me a bad person. I am not flippantly wasting money or the items themselves. I am simply building a life for myself. Part of that life is stuff. People happen to like stuff and there is nothing we have to apologize in that. Be your interests in books, vintage t-shirts, or discount Cuisinart blenders, toasters, and fondue sets. If there is something wrong with buying goods I do not want to be right. For the economy's sake you don't either.
