Not the Average Definition of Stuff

Not the average definition of stuff

Do you find that your house is full of stuff that is just lying around, for the most part unused and collecting dust? This is unfortunately the norm for most Americans, because we love to buy, purchase, acquire, and lastly procure stuff.

Hey everyone all of that stuff will not make you happier, it just takes up space and energy.  I will show you a few awesome, not the average definition of stuff, to make you laugh.

In 2014 the average American adult is predicted to spend about $700-800 dollars for Christmas gifts aka they will give away a bunch of stuff to friends and family. When you multiply this amount as a nation that figure is around 600 billion dollars. (Begin awkward hand clap)

After you read these, you might think to yourself I really don’t need all this stuff and can now focus on living a simpler life.

Not the Average Definition of Stuff:

A Purse – a contraption that carries various junk. Some of the junk is cash, and credit cards to help you buy more Stuff.

Cell Phones – an expertly crafted techie tool, that distracts you every 30 seconds, helps you communicate rarely, and helps you lose available time on various Social Media, Games or Apps.

Airplanes – a massive machine that helps humans glide like birds through the sky, at a modest or maybe expensive 1 time cost.

A Wallet – see the purse definition. Also a tool to help you acquire back issues if you hold it in the back pants pocket.

Gaming Stations – an apparatus to help you relive your childhood, while wasting excessive time, to avoid real responsibilities as an adult. (IF not employed by Electronic Arts, there’s no need to play 4 hours per day)

Tablets – a device for watching endless rerun shows on Netflix, and rarely used for reading, also an overly expensive kids play (distraction) toy.

Really 900 Dollars for this Shoe, I rather get something better looking for 50 bucks.

Luxury Shoes – better than supposedly average feet protectors, used to show your rich status that is falsely misinterpreted by you, and everyone knows the truth.

Smart Watches – trendy gadget used to help you appear cool, but in reality just seems like your trying too hard to do so. (Hiring: Inspector Gadget Stunt Double)

Big Headphone – expensive sound transmitters that block out other noise, also used to ignore others on purpose while damaging ear drums for life.

Cars – a machine that transports humans and stuff by guzzling gas to the tune of 10 grand a year income reducer on average.

Luxury Watch – a mechanical timepiece, that is usually overpriced and reflects a lifestyle above means, can be justified if for an heirloom or as a future profitable investment

I think we all need some stuff from time to time, but to constantly desire a new thing is a misleading lifestyle. Yes we all get it, that many people want to appear like they’ve made it some way or another. But to those who really make it big time with Wealth, if you’re smart, then you could care less about all the grandiose stuff.

I don’t see why people feel a shoe that costs $1,000 dollars helps make them feel richer, when it costs the company $50 dollars to make said shoe.

I hope you’re happy forking over 950 dollars for the name of the brand!

I’ve seen about 20 Instagram pictures of people showing off all the fabulous stuff they received this Christmas and I hope they enjoy owning said stuff. One statistic those people probably don’t know about Christmas, is that the average person cannot even remember what they got for Christmas two years ago.

This list is important to make people realize that real happiness doesn’t come from accumulating stuff. It is important to think about what really matters, while laughing a bit off the ridiculousness behind consumerism.

Did the Not the Average definition of Stuff make you laugh!

If yes – you understand stuff does not make you happy.

If no – then you probably own most of this stuff.

These are all my opinions and done to reflect a consumerist lifestyle in jest.

  1. Ah, stuff. I find that we acquire a lot of stuff, but because it has a purpose at the time. For example, we have several laptops now, in various states of disrepair, but they each serve a purpose… so we have lots of them. (Run old software on old systems, broken screen but plugged into TV, etc.) This is sort of an aside to the point that you are making in your post, though.
