Here is an interesting article on an increasing number of retired people who are getting rid of all of their material possessions and are choosing to travel instead: "They are American retirees who have downsized to the extreme, choosing a life of travel over a life of tending to possessions."
I thought this an interesting perspective on the idea of an object, and essentially it's meaning to us. That in the end material things are just things and are not essential to define or construct who we are.
