Stuff - Diamond Rio

JEL: a d     

Delivery truck coming up 'round the bend
Beep, beep, beep, just backing in
Sign here and here and here again
'Cause it's no money down no payments till
Your whole place is cram packed filed with

Stuff (stuff) stack it on stack it on up
(Stuff) never gonna ever get enough (stuff)
Oh it's treasure till it's mine then it ain't worth a dime
It's stuff (stuff) spreading like weeds
Dragging me under in an endless sea of stuff
(Stuff) There ain't no end
Got to get a bigger place so I can move in
More stuff

Assignment:

How much is enough? This is the question that Diamond Rio asks in Stuff. The singer keeps buying and does not get very much additional utility from the new purchases. What economic theory can be used to explain this?
