    Fantastic response, whilst I don’t agree with everything Is say you’re pretty much on target.

    When you get to the point where all of your shit is in a backpack or you eat only whole foods or you have exactly 100 items or whatever, you start to really FEEL the impact of having more financial resources, having more geographical freedom, having more time, and being less psychologically tied down

    It is the result or realisation of owning just what you really want and need and it being so little. The possibilities expand and you realise how much stuff you wanted or owned was effectively noise. This of course leads to one being even more intent with theirselves which can be a little unnerving. However life is much better and more enjoyable as a result.

      Curious what you disagree with? Just wondering because of course my exact experience and perception isn’t going to match up with that of everyone else, so it’s interesting to compare notes.
