Life with Less Stuff

Some of you reading this might think we are too young to be considering a life of leisure. That we haven’t ‘paid our dues’ as they say.

While leisurely days do sound fantastic, it is really just a slower pace and a less cluttered life we are ultimately wanting. Why is it necessary to work your life away, gathering possessions you don’t really need, only for it to be too late and you to be too old to enjoy what really matters in life?

Here’s a peek at our life now:
We live in a single-family home.
Our house has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.
We have a dining room we use once a year.
We have no children.
We have 2 indoor cats: a fat, lovable one and a pissy, biting one.
My husband runs his own business.
We own lots of big, expensive equipment for that business.
I work out of the house full time.
We own 3 vehicles.

Basically what this all boils down to is too much stuff for 2 people. We look around our house these days and ask ourselves, “Do we really need this stuff?”

Sure the house is nice, but it really only comes in handy when we have company.

Yes, we like having a yard, but it’s just another thing to take care of. And all of the items that are required to care of that small piece of land we so proudly call ours, crowds up the garage.

Now we’re thinking a condo would be ideal. We don’t require much space and we’d love to have someone else take care of the grounds.

In our opinion, less stuff equals a happier life.
