Being a renter definitely kept me lighter for a long time.
When you have to box things up over and over you find that the physical and mental energy around keeping it aren’t adding up. I wonder if migrating from cloud to cloud would simulate this experience.
Being a renter just taught me to batch my $STUFF I/O to minimize read-writes to disk and maximize available low-latency space. ie. fill my bags to the brim with shit I didn't plan using whenever I'd go to my parents'.
Two space garbage collector in action right there. Maybe all things software need a "move it or lose it" impetus. Features in apps, old data, you name it. If you've gotta keep transferring/translating it, it would definitely pare things down.
