approximately every two years. That kept me from acquiring too much stuff, or holding on to things I had no use for. When my marriage came to an end, and I decided to move from Kansas to New Mexico, I rented a small storage unit and started putting things in there that I wanted to take with me, including things like my good china, books, various sentimental items.

I live in a small (about 900 square feet) two bedroom home. Whenever I move into independent/assisted living, I will have to downsize somewhat more. Several years ago I promoted my wedding china to being my everyday china, so that is absolutely coming with me. Other stuff will require more consideration.
