I recently sold my huge apartment + furnitures, don't have a car anymore. I really felt owning these things were limiting my freedom and having a huge cost both economically as well as mentally. I'm really excited about embarking on a more minimalistic lifestyle, where I think twice about the cost of ownership. I now have more money and more freedom. Great article.

I have moved to Britain recently and did not take much stuff. Most of what I do have is replaceable.

Sometimes I feel more uprooted than liberated by the lack of stuff.

I have recently offloaded a whole bunch of stuff, streamlining my possessions before going travelling - and it is weird at first. My feelings are definitely a mix of uprooted and liberated, in equal measures.
