We moved to Canada from Japan about 5 years ago. We only started downsizing 2 years ago, and now we have way less stuff than we ever did in Japan.

I wish we here in North America planned our spaces much better.
Downsizing is not just about space. It is about lessening stress, having a smaller environmental impact, increasing financial freedom, and many other things.
I recommend it.
- stuartaxelowen 10y agoMoving to Japan right now, and 600 sq ft is freaking huge.
- eitally 10y agoWe just moved from a 4300sqft house on the east coast to a 1700sqft house on the west coast, and I've been mentally berating myself for ever believing I needed such a giant place. We had 3 different offices spaces, a big "bonus" room, a mud room, and sun room, and three porches, not to mention a 300sqft kitchen. ... Well, I do miss the large kitchen and 10' ceilings, but that's about it.
