Avoiding waste is the path to maintaining peace of mind. It is ideal to own only one of each kind of item. Owning two is permissible, but if you wish to own three or more, consider donating the equivalent amount of money. Owning many things does not increase joy in proportion; in fact, the more you own, the more that joy fades. However, donations help others, and the joy that comes from giving does not diminish, but rather grows. This is because it brings abundance to both the giver and the receiver.
