My boyfriend has too much stuff and it's driving me nuts. What do I do?

[Anonymous]

I moved across the country with all my worldly possessions in 3 suitcases.

I own no furniture, and sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag. I own 1 pot, 1 pan, 3 cups and 3 plates. I've since moved in with my boyfriend who has 5 pots, a full dish set, cupboards full of canned food, spices, noodles etc, a full fridge, and a queen size bed that is fiendishly heavy, with a headboard and foot board.

He is neat and tidy but all this unnecessary stuff drives me nuts. It seems wasteful and causes extra work. I mention it and he says he needs all this stuff. How the heck can two people need 8 dinner plates, or 10 cans of vegetable soup?

I make nearly $70000 so I could afford more stuff but I prefer simplicity and putting away money to invest and travel instead of blowing it on stuff. What should I do?

Seriously you're upset about him having 10 cans of soup? you do realize canned soup can stay good for like 2 years unopened so it's great for storing and making if you ned a quick lunch and stuff like canned beef stew is delicious.

I mean if you want to live like a hippie or one of the those "free" people with absolutely nothing that is perfectly fine but us the normal people require things such as fridges, dish sets, plates and canned goods to live. And if that is seriously bothering you, then just leave, no one likes having anybody say what they can and can't have or how to live their life, especially someone who lives out of their backpack, especially when you are living in "his house".
