There are still loads of books and toys in the house that my children have grown out of; their out-grown clothes we gave away as we went along.

Just about everything except the few clothes I wear, running water and light bulbs. Oh, and my Bible.

It was a joke. I prefer natural light. Point is I have a house and it came with fixtures and light switches. I'm not at home as much as I would like to be, so I don't use much of what's in it. Most of it belongs to my wife since she uses it all the time. I guess I should have included my bed and the chair I sit on too. 😉

Maybe I'm taking the OP to seriously. I'm not materialistic. I try to minimize the number of man made objects I need to survive. In my opinion living life has little to do with what "stuff" one has and everything to do with what one is and does.
