RE: Everything as a service - Are we going to own less stuff?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I guess eventually owning a lot of stuff will be irrelevant. BTW, Your friend who gets to travel the world is living my dream lifestyle.
Some things are unavoidable though. Imagine having a family and not having a home to raise kids or a car for emergencies. Some of these conveniences like Uber and Airbnb can't be entirely reliable when raising kids. So... I guess they come with a minor clause.

Actually, in most major cities people raise kids without cars or even owning their home. In the US about 2/3 the population "owns" their home since it is really the bank who has the note.
So I would disagree that owning those two things is vital to raising children. We see it in major cities everyday.

I don't think it's possible to raise kids in an Airbnb or with complete reliance on Uber for transportation against owning a car of your own.
While these things are convenient they are not exactly sustainable.

Hehe I think that's the dream of many!
That's the point I was trying to make when I said that the sense of security is a factor in that kind of decision. Some people just feel safer when they own those things and that's okay because currently there are options for them too.
