We downsized from a 3 bedroom house to a 38 ft motorhome. It was hard giving up a lot of our possessions, but I have to admit that I did not miss them once they were gone. I love the fact that I spend less time cleaning and more time quilting and reading. Another plus to downsizing: you spend less money because you find you really don't want it since you don't have the room. Which gives you more cash flow to enjoy more trips to those places you always wanted to visit or spend more time visiting distant relatives. It is amazing how much more fun life has become by downsizing and simplifying our lifestyle. I never want to go back to living in a large house.
