Well in the long run we don't actually get to keep anything forever. We pay for the convenience of having things at our fingertips or available for our use. I am happy with media etc. to be able to read the books, watch the shows, play the games etc. even though I am by nature a collecting kind of person and would be overrun with physical objects if I was to follow my inclinations. Probably be on hoarder TV.
I do take pleasure in having things but whether I am renting, leasing etc. only comes into play when I would be saving money or adding other value through ownership.
I think I am just as happy and have always been just as happy reading a borrowed book as one I bought. Never even gave it a thought for most of my life, and still don't unless someone brings it up on MR. Just weird I guess.
