Yes, moving was the reason I started a way more minimalistic lifestyle. I got rid of all the books, video games, action figures and all that other stuff I used to collect. Today it's like an addiction, owning less makes me so much happier and I cant even explain why. No 20 pairs of fancy shoes, no outfit for every occasion, no latest technical device for fun - just less stress.
unfortunately books are one of the most annoying things when you move.
I used to own a quite large stash of them, in the hundreds, not thousands, but started moving a lot, like every 6 months and I began hating them. Now they all live inside boxes in the basement of my house. I don't think I'm going to take them out anytime soon.
