Two and a half years ago, I (effectively) owned nothing except the contents of the two suitcases that I brought to the US with me. That wasn't liberating, it was just inconvenient and annoying, and I had to start reacquiring stuff immediately so I had places to sleep and things to eat.
Then, a few months ago, I was forced out of my home by a fire, taking only the bare essentials. Most of my stuff was undamaged, but due to the reconstruction work I couldn't get at it for a couple of months. That,as it happens, also sucked.
There's definitely something to be said for having stuff.

I was in a similar situation when I moved to Boston and we've gotten more work done in two months than our competitors have in two years. And, most importantly, we're happy. When I was a financial analyst I had tons of "stuff" and really it just caused me stress and worry. I liked the idea of having stuff instead of the "stuff itself". I think that's a PG quote. To each his own though.
