My first major move away from home, I left with the contents of one large cardboard box, the clothes on my back and my car. By the time I got married 10 years later, I had a full storage unit and I think and 2 vehicles.
A divorce brought me down to a two bedroom apartment floor to ceiling full of stuff. Unforeseen events brought that back down to a small storage unit full of stuff, and the clothes on my back. Now here it is, 25 years after that very first move, and I have another storage unit, but everything I own fit into one small bedroom. As I am going through it now, I am determined to reduce the crap to as little as possible. It is not that I can't take it with me; I no longer want to.

Have successfully rid myself of 7 computers, and 10 boxes of files, a dresser, some clothes, cleaning supplies, books, magazines,some oddball knickknacks, 5 drawers full of video cassettes and DVDs, a set of skis... (please don't ask when the last time I skied was!)a bunch of dishes, and a toaster oven. Still planning on losing a television, vcr, dvd, entertainment center, a couple computer monitors, and more clothes. Feeling really good about the accomplishment.
