I had a fair amount of stuff until one day someone who knew where I lived started threatening my life. I packed my car and left that day.

Liberated of most of my possessions, a few months later I accepted a friend's offer of a job in another country. I'm almost certain wouldn't have happened if I'd still had all that stuff, and I'm very glad it did.

(I was not a hoarder. I could only have filled a small moving van. But even that amount of stuff had a strong inertial effect.)
