philosophical part:
* tone down all your expectations. really
* find friends to be your senses - other places need other "senses" which u dont have yet.
technical part:
* moving alone needs only a backpack. Moving with a family needs a bit more, but not that much; only take important unfindable-over-there things. i.e. memories and uniques. i moved alone forward 20kg, and back (with a kid), 300kg - 30% of which were audio-stuff.. could have been sold/given-away/left. Important but: once u go over some weight-or-volume threshold, it might be near-same-price to take half the house and even the car :/
