When I moved from Canada to the U.S, the company rented a studio, and for 2 years lived without all my "crap" and didn't miss it. I sold the house, gave away most of the contents and moved into a one bedroom. Met my husband and less in a year the opportunity to move to China was presented to us, and we took it. Donated or gave our belongings, packed up some clothes, books and cooking utensils and have never been happier. I'm in agreement, the less you have the less you worry, the happier you are. Marketing has done a wonderful job of making people feel insecure especially in the U.S, if one doesn't have the newest Mercedes, or Rolex watch. Well put!
