Rent a truck, have it haul away everything you have, except a lap top and some musical instruments.

An interesting idea... would not suit me at all, but perhaps it would buy a better life for some kinds of people.

personally - I'd go crazy without having a room full of interesting projects to do (I know - I've lived overseas away from my stuff before).

Doing multiple interesting projects, making things is what gives me joy.and to have multiple projects, you need equipment and supplies... and thus a house full of stuff. Haul it away and I'd just have to buy it all over again (which seems wasteful to me).
