More on being without a lot of worldly possessions from two masters:
From Loa Tzu:
He who knows contentment is rich
Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.
Not valuing wealth prevents theft
Free from desire you see the mystery. Full of desire you see the manifestations.
From the Buddha:
Those who do not know peace even when living in a heavenly palace, are still not satisfied. Those who do not know satisfaction, even when rich, are poor. People who know staisfaction, even when poor, are rich.
If you are poor live wisely. If you are rich live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.
In other words, it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor...live wisely and find the wealth already within you!
All is well!
