What a neat story! We can learn so much from our mistakes, especially if they were fun-ish at the time.

Man, this was a great post! I loved her comment, “I no longer wanted an emotional attachment to stuff”. For two years, I have paid $207 for a POD storage in another state. I have not moved it because it’s too expensive to ship. But in reality, I don’t need/want most of the items in there. I’m going out there next week to get rid of it.

Pretty crazy lifestyle. I see so many people like that where I work. Everyone has a jacked up truck, secondary vehicle, quads, sleds, boats, RVs, and everything else to go with them. It’s a place of crazy high incomes, but it’s O&G so it’s boom and bust, currently recovering from a bust so you can pick all that stuff up super cheap used now thanks to people over extending themselves!

Wow, thanks for sharing your story! I love that you point out that possessions just weigh you down and don’t lead to happiness. It’s the experiences that lead to true happiness.
