re: Nothing like moving to realize how much "stuff" you have

Just wait until you have to unpack it. You have just begun to hate yourself.


I called my mom after 3 days and begged for help. I got to the point that I was just kicking boxes around so that I could get out of the door to go to work.

And I threw a lot of shite away.

where you moving to now baw

I've been on a campaign to reduce the amount of stuff that has accumulated at my house. For the past 2 - 3 years I've thrown away/given away pickup loads of items that I no longer need or use. I try to only bring in items that will be consumed or otherwise used up and discarded. Losing battle - I think there's more crap here now than when I started.

Moving on Saturday as well. Moving wife's crap to Boston for a year and my crap to a new place in NYC. I told my wife that whatever furniture goes to Boston does not come back.

Moving is when I purge myself of my useless crap that I've collected. I've lived in my current house longer than any place since I went off to college. I can't wait to move at the end of the year and toss everything . Now I make enough money to replace it with quality stuff

Wife is a pack rat. Will light it all on fire if we move again

I've been trying to be more mindful of all the stuff I have.


And next time I move I will use it as an opportunity to purge of a lot of stuff I don't need. Motivation will be that it is less stuff to pack and move and unpack
