There is a fine balance between getting rid of stuff only to have to spend money to buy it all over again, putting it in storage, and/or transporting it between locations. The better the quality of the possessions, the more expensive they are to replace, the more difficult the decisions become.

I've regretted getting rid of stuff long after it has happened. I am a lot less aggressive about it these days.
