You'd probably have to leave the couch behind.

Ha! Yeah. I'd miss the hell out of that couch actually. It's like a second bed.

I figure, if we were to move somewhere out of the country, we'd pack light. I wouldn't mind selling most of my stuff, books, antiques, car and all. Heck, selling that stuff would just help us bankroll the move. I couldn't let go of the dog though, even with her frito feet. We'd have to find a way to make that work.

There was a time I thought I needed a four bedroom, three bath, three car garage house. Like anything less was just going to be a disappointment. But I've been in my two bedroom, two bath, one parking space condo for ten years, and I only go in the second bedroom to find hiking gear and the second bath to scoop liter boxes. I bet you could find something amazing and small that suits you perfectly.

I'd mourn the loss of my records, and my hifi is basically my dream setup, but I could imagine downsizing dramatically. As long as the cats can come with me. My long term hypothetical is just that. Somewhere rural but with access to a bigger city. So not Wyoming, but maybe rural New England.

I'm right there with both of you. The sky's the limit. The Baltic does seem ideal.

Yeah. It's amazing how easy it is to downsize if you're just willing to let go. Sometimes, less really can be more.
