I did this in 1993 at the beginning of a one-year road trip. Even when pared down to the barest of "needs", at the end of the year I realized I had only used about a third of what I brought with me. Very eye-opening. And very freeing. Capitalism is a plague on the planet.

Consumerism and materialism is a plague on the planet not capitalism. When I was a kid in the 50s the US my parents were much more capitalistic than my generation or later generations. My parents + their peers didn't consume or collect nearly as much stuff as people do currently.

Capitalism isn't, hyperconsumerism caused by chrony capitalistic entities is. Capitalism to improve the quality of life, the quality of production, the improvement of society as a whole is great. The issue is human greed that has nothing to do with capitalism as an economic tool. If capitalism is utilized for production (like building a bakery, farm, something useful for both the entrepreneur and customer), nothing is wrong with it. If capitalism is used for onesided hyperconsumption, we end up in a mess. I am btw all for minimalism and already down to 3 suitcases, and today I'm scaling down even more. Some of my hobby material (last of it) might be sold so I can travel. Not because I don't want it, as it will last a lifetime, but mainly because I don't have the luxury to leave it behind somewhere and the cost/benefit of storage is negative. "The things you own, end up owning you." was similarly a truth and inspiration to me as to many others. The burden of getting rid of what's owning you reveals it all.

My husband and I did the exact same thing. Fitted our lives into 4 bags and moved to Canada. Sold cars and everything we own in 4 weeks, it was a huge rush as Covid was hitting.

When we were downsizing, I was surprised that I was mourning the loss. But, what I realized is that it had taken me decades to finally afford what I wanted instead of only being able to buy the necessities. Now I was having to let those go and go back to almost nothing. It only worked because I had a better dream.

Downsizing is not only practical but also fulfilling

Amazing how when we are young, we buy stuff to define ourselves, but when we get older, we are stuck with stuff that has no meaning. Takes energy and organization to get rid of stuff (harder than acquiring stuff). If you can find your passion, you will find that things lose much of their meaning. You can be happy creating, just being, or being with someone. My wife and I have given ourselves three years to downsize before we move to the west coast. Can't wait to get there but dreading the move.

you cannot completely ignore the "doing," and then be completely immersed in "not doing" because w/o the existence of the opposites - as in"doing" and "not doing", either one of those has any meaning by itself ... as such it is called the art of "not doing of doing" by some ... just sayin' pilgrim.

People move into a house or apartment then they buy things for that place. Then they "need" more and "nicer" things. Then they need a bigger place to hold all their stuff and more and nicer things for the new space. Everything you own you have to carry in one way or another it all weighs you down. I think throughout history "things" were hard to get because you had to make them yourself or trade services to get the items. With industrialization came cheap easy goods and the yearning to have more and more. It is very liberating to unburden yourself of unnecessary items.,fewer things to have to manage,clean, store, and organize.

Filling up our lives with a bunch of stuff and filling up our time with consumption is just a way for us to escape boredom or a general lack of purpose..... It's just too scary to think about what we REALLY want to pursue, or even the fact that we keep putting off pursuing those dreams, so we keep shopping

Yes. Congratulations!. I’m happy for you. These marketing/consumerism schemes don’t work on me. I abhor shopping and parting with my hard earned money. I have never been materialistic and always a saver. Happiness is innate. Everything on this earth is temporary. External events and people are just the icing on your cake. After losing my Mom to cancer at 62, I realized just how short life is. I’m so grateful for all my blessings. Living frugally within my means, being a minimalist and buying only the necessities: food and shelter, I comfortably retired and happily left the rat race workforce debt free and stress free. It’s comforting having the cash to buy what I need when I need it. Retirement is good. Be safe and God bless.

That is one thing I don't want to pass on to my children when I'm gone. What a terrible legacy for your children - having to get rid of all your stuff! You're a young person. Imagine what an accumulation of possessions you would have by the age of nearly 70!

One of my most wearing items was lost this week. I used to dance in those pants, go out, chill.. I recognised myself wearing them for so long... and got very attached eventually. Now I realize that losing them holds an opportunity to say goodbye to that period of time, and to let go... knowing that it does not make me less of a wonderful human being because I miss wearing them.

How did you manage to LOOSE a pant?

I'm in this process right now. I was already practicing minimalism, but this last move has made my husband think about it too and realize that we don't need to impress anyone, we need to have a life that works for us.

So, I totally admire and respect what you and your husband have chosen and I am looking forward to see how your world changes as you relocate, but I'd like to offer a different perspective on "stuff" ownership. I am 54 and divorced and I agree, I don't really want to full up my world with meaningless stuff to impress people, however, I do love owning a home and I do like having a reliable vehicle and a certain amount of quality items that I use heavily. As a younger guy in my 20's, I really did not have much at all - I worked all sorts of crazy and dangerous jobs to get through college and while I was climbing the job ladder I often went without stuff in order to save. I lived in dumpy little apartments and I drove cars that left me stranded. And now at 54 ya know what? F--k that, if I never have to do that again, I am not. Seriously. Many of us in my age group paid our dues this way (not that your age has not, but stuff is way easier to get now, it really is). So my sense of ownership is a lot more than "flexing" or living some marketing lifestyle. It's about pride in my home and having a home to share with others. It's about having a reliable vehicle for work or to help neighbors or friends out - it's about self sufficiency and the results of a lifetime of work. So yeah, just a different perspective.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do in my life.

I’ve been thinking about this sentiment alot lately and it’s really helped to put things into perspective when deciding what to declutter or minimise in our home

I really enjoyed the lessons you mentioned about not attaching to “things”. I am from Oahu, but live in Alaska now. My home is small, and my faith has been a huge part of letting go of things. I also work directly with the homeless community, and witnessing how much stuff people carry around or choose not to, has been humbling. Good for you and your husband!

What a beautiful video ! Thank you ! There’s a great quote: “A rich person is not one who has the most, but the one who needs the least!”

I am moving as well on Sunday back to Italy, leaving behind my house in England. I will leave the furniture in and only take with me 2 suitcases. It's indeed an overwhelming feeling, I sometimes feel like crying because of too many emotions going through me now! I am very excited as well to go back, Italy it's my world, my family and my dog is there, I love that country more than any other country on this planet and on Tuesday I will be on the Amalfi coast so I cannot really complain, but still it's a huge change that simply touches you! And yes, all this moving taught me that I don't really need lots of material things to feel happy, the more I go in time, the less I need really, less stuff makes me feel free and light! I can relate so much with this video, big life changes for both of us! I am in good company ha,ha! Much love sweetheart, stunning video as always! xxx

An empty Shaker village in Northwestern Massachusetts tour guide answered a question that when a woman once got pregnant there, she and her mate were asked to leave the community. I guess they only took in orphans and have since perhaps gone extinct. Very spare buildings, and, yes, beautifully designed and handmade things. Kept their chairs hung on the walls when not in use: one side of the dining hall for men, one side for women... Perhaps all at one long table???

I’ve have watched so many videos on decluttering and I think I’ll keep watching them until I’m where I need to be with this. also it’s nice that you and your partner feel the same way and could make the change together.

This was SO inspiring! I have a dream of being able to sell everything and travel at some point in life! Our youngest is now 18 years old, so that dream may be on the horizon! In the meantime, I have been working to consistently declutter our things. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!💗

I've been decluttering in waves over the past two years. I feel lighter and am getting rid of more now. At the same time, I'm watching a friend clean out his father and grandfathers house. There's just so much and it's been extremely taxing on him to work through all this stuff. I've spoken to my own parents about their things as they're heading to the next phase of life and looking to downsize. It's amazing just how much can be accumulated, and hold space, time and energy to maintain and remove. The penny hasn't dropped for my parents yet how much effort this will take just to remove things and I have been preparing for the time where I'll have to help them. It is taxing for me just knowing that's coming.

Can I recommend getting a Kobo device for your books? A Kobo is attached to Overdrive/Libby for libraries, so it's one light-weight device that will last you at least a decade and you can read when you're traveling or from the comfort of your bed.

I spent a decade of my life traveling, 23 to 33, abouts, and at first, I’d buy momentos from each place. After awhile, I realized I was just wasting money on junk. I started to collect tiny yacht flags instead to limit my purchases. Also, I was shopping, and not engaging my surroundings as much. Everyone wants to sell you things. After discovering the places in the world I liked, traveling got cheap because I only needed essentials and focused my time on the place, people, and learning the languages. I’d go run, swim, or surf instead of buy things. I got very good at traveling for months on end across dozens of nations in multiple continents with a carry on. I’d say I was about pro. But I get it. Good for you. Portugal is a top spot on my list too. I walked across Spain twice and each time ended my trip in Portugal. Gorgeous place. Did you buy a home there? My neighbor on Oahu bought a condo there for like $120k and says the maintenance is like $30 a month. In a Southern Beach town.

My house is so full it's hard to start but I'm trying. I guess that's what matters. Thanks for the inspo.
