The things that you own end up owning you

It's true. After I lost about 75% of my stuff in my divorce I've never been happier.

I'm looking at the opposite in the next few years, actually getting a few acres....I'd like to put up some good antenna's, and a nice sized area makes for some nice camping without camping.

Of course. Private property is a burden and not a value. It generates anxieties and mistrust. It brings up all the bad in people. This is even more true in case of women. They are grabby by nature.

I was happiest in a studio apartment with very little crap holding me down.

I collected stuff, from keeping all my old assault packs to getting outdoor stuff, when I was married. I bought a lot of stuff knowing I'd probably never get to use it while married, but at least I felt one step closer to maybe getting outdoors.

After I finally got her to leave (and yes, it's possible to have it all, just takes a couple of years), I ebay'd all of it. I was putting stuff down at bargain basket prices, and a lot of it sold for a hell of a lot more than I'd have paid for it.

I got rid of a solid 50% of what I owned after she took her cut, and that was an eye opener...it reminded me of the old days when I had 2 footlockers of personal stuff, and could move by putting everything I owned in the back of my truck and going...I haven't looked back. It's a good feeling to both be in a place that feels like home finally, and also knowing I can be moved out in a day if need be.

True. I've held myself back from doing things in large part because I was afraid I'd have to leave a bunch of my shit behind.

10 years ago I sold my car, bike, house, basically everything that owned except the clothes in my backpack and my bible.

It was either GMOW or suicide/homicide.

I have been to 30 countries, doing od jobs and enjoying my "retirement" at 44.

10/10 would do again.

Forget that. I worked hard for the stuff I have and I'm not about to let some ungrateful bitch have any of it.
