Another great point. My mom and I had a lot of financial problems growing up and got evicted or had to move quickly a couple times. We lost all our non essentials so many times I've learned not to have possessions. My prized asset is my gaming rig, and I can easily store it with a friend. My second prize is my collection of books. It's not valuable, but I have everything written by David and Leigh Eddings, I believe, and I have Ink and Vellum by Hal Duncan, and a nice riffle paged copy of Maia by Richard Adams. Along with a few Green brothers books, one of which is signed.
That's it. Everything else actually needed can be packed in a backpack. I can leave my bed and TV behind, etc.
I'm also very clean. I thought I was a slob, because I was growing up. But turned out I'd just been in serial monogamous relationships since high school and always livrd with my partners, and they were messy, and I hate cleaning up after other people. Turns out I'm pretty damn neat lol. My sink could use a scrubbing and I haven't cleaned my shower in the 4 months I've lived in this apsrtment. But my room is never messy and laundry is done promptly when needed. When I have a date over I always have to clean up after them the day after.
Thank you for your input, comrade!
