The document discusses how Americans spend too much money buying things they don't need and rarely use, which ends up controlling them rather than the other way around. It suggests spending money on experiences such as traveling, trying new activities, and spending time with friends rather than accumulating possessions. The key idea is to revolutionize the way people spend their time and money by focusing on doing things and making meaningful experiences rather than buying unnecessary items.

1. The things we own
end up owning us.

2. We all buy too much shit

3. Most of it we rarely use

4. Some of it we never use

5. We buy this crap and then
we store it.
And then we brag about how
much stuff we have.

6. But honestly that just turns
us into stuff babysitters.
Good job.
Really.

7. Americans spend $22 Billion
on storage every year.

8. More than 7.5 sq ft of storage
space per person in the US

9. Most of this crap we could just
borrow from a friend.
I’m not saying don’t spend
money. I’m saying think more
about what you are spending
your money on.

10. The one who dies with the
most toys wins?

11. Bullshit.

12. The one who dies with the
most experiences wins.

13. WTF experiences?
•Go places
•See things
•Try new stuff
•Have dinner with friends
•Ride your bike
•Fuck the same old shit and your lame comfort levels

14. I have an idea.
(as represented by this awesome lightbulb)

15. Maybe spend your money on
doing things rather than
buying things.
Spend your time experiencing
things rather than buying
things.

16. “Life moves pretty fast. If
you don't stop and look
around once in a while, you
could miss it.”
- Dr. Ferris Bueller, Esq

17. Modern technology helps

18. So what are you waiting for?
You only get one shot at life.
Are you doing it right?

19. I’m trying to start a
REVOLUTION
