In the process, I got rid of more and more stuff.
In the end, I had 9 boxes, a mattress, two chairs, two small tables, and a two-shelf bookshelf in the U-Haul.
My current situation is temporary - only a year, then it's time to move again. I plan to reduce what I own by at least a third again before then.
I'm already considering tossing out one of the chairs.
My goal in the next year? To purchase a 16 foot Scamp trailer to live in for the next 4-5 years, maybe longer.

Which means more simplifying. I'm good with that. :)Nothing is worth more than freedom.
