About us

Contact us for any questions or comments. We are organising this garage sale with new and used items. Hopefully, this will put the products to good use and reduce the excessive drive for consumption of new overpriced products from the retail stores.
We are an average family that found out too late about the dangers of excessive spending. Now we strive to reduce our materialistic possessions in favor of a simpler, more spacious way of life. See the section below for the principles of simple living.
Simple Living
Voluntary simplicity, or simple living, is a way of life that rejects the high-consumption, materialistic lifestyles of consumer cultures and affirms what is often just called ‘the simple life’ or ‘downshifting.’ The rejection of consumerism arises from the recognition that ordinary Western-style consumption habits are degrading the planet; that lives of high consumption are unethical in a world of great human need; and that the meaning of life does not and cannot consist in the consumption or accumulation of material things. Extravagance and acquisitiveness are accordingly considered an unfortunate waste of life, certainly not deserving of the social status and admiration they seem to attract today. The affirmation of simplicity arises from the recognition that very little is needed to live well – that abundance is a state of mind, not a quantity of consumer products or attainable through them.
