So what should I do with all of the stuff I have now? I have spent 100's of thousands of $$$ over the past 50 years as a consumer. I have helped to create wealth and to feed into and build a thriving economy.

How is having "less stuff" going to help the economy?, and what if I need "that stuff" immediately, not 3 days from now to rent it. That last paragraph is funny and tantamount to "everyone wants one, but no one wants to pay for it". LOL

This article is science fiction. It definitely will not happen in 2030, but maybe 3030, once the human population is back to around 1 Billion.
