Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

Isn't that plainly false? When I was in college, and just after that, I had almost no money, so I was incredibly protective of my stuff and things I considered mine. Later my income went up, so I didn't need to worry about it as much. Surely many other people have had similar experiences.

I've been incredibly broke before and I think it's different kind of protective. I'm frugally protective at trying to keep something working but that's a different kind of possesive.

Of course you will care about food when you are starving. And you won't care about scraps and leftovers when you are not.

But like that was a change of not being afraid to lose something you can rebuy. I'm sure their is plenty of non disposable items that you would have and ideals that you hold onto as truths about yourself. And im sure you don't viewing housing and transportation as disposable.
