You will own nothing and you will be happy. This may sound like a crazy idea, but it’s something that more and more people are starting to believe in.

In an article published in Forbes by the World Economic Forum, the authors talk about how we will eventually live in a system where your whole life is subscription-based and only the very rich will own any personal property.

“Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city — or should I say, “our city.” I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city.”

If you read the article, this is how things will play out:

  • Privacy is a luxury
  • Owning a home is a luxury

> — YOU ARE HERE — <

  • Owning clothes is a luxury
  • Raising kids is a luxury

Ownership is dead, and you can see it all around you.

Home ownership is declining, nobody owns a video game or a movie anymore (it’s all streaming), and total household debt is at an all-time high.
