I moved from my parents house with a single backpack. It was my intention to do it this way. I hate traveling, moving for a lot of heavy bags. Who likes heavy bags? For a long time I wanted to keep the amount of stuff that I own to a minimum. To be mobile To keep rooms clean easier To have less cluttered space To spend less money But things still accumulate. Sometimes too much, as I posted earlier. We buy things we may not even use. On the other hand, it would be better to buy some things because they could bring us value, and not buying them depraves us of ability to achieve a goal or just enjoy a hobby. Having gone through this cycle twice, I still believe that we don't need a lot of things. And we should weigh whether things we own will be used and bring us value. And hobbies are important, too. Not that long ago I've learned to buy things. Previously I would hold back buying useful things. Who said we can't buy stuff? So after going full circle, I have a list of things to sell and give away, and I have things that brought me insane return on investment, and fun.
