Pretty sure I'm happier this way. There's something to be said for not being ruled by our stuff.
I'm with you. Single in a 1200 sq house I was very happy with my stuff, or lack there of. What I had, could be neatly stowed. Everything else was open space. Mostly it was stuff I actually needed.
We now live in 2500 sq plus a garage sized shop, a 1000 sq of basement and a garage. We have stuff out the ears. The books don't bother me, that's just thick wallpaper. Tools we use are no problem either. It's the memorabilia, stuff that might be useful later, gadgets we don't use, things saved for the kids' kids, and clothes we no longer fit in that bother me.
We are eying our over-sized backyard as a possible spot for a small house just for us when the girls leave us empty nestors. There wouldn't be much room for unnecessary stuff. And we could sell the house we are in now after we'd sold, given away, or thrown out most of the stuff.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
