I have lived in both worlds: having lots of stuff and having next to nothing. The latter is better, IMHO. I do not really care about minimalism or environmentalism or anything like that, it's just that less stuff = less stress for me, and more freedom. Having accumulated a buttload of stuff (mostly thanks to my girlfriend! :D), it now costs me about $1000 and a solid two days of work to move (if movers are hired, which is almost required unless I can get external help for free). I used to own just some clothes and a computer, and moving was stupidly easy. I have moved over 20 times in the past 12 years or so, which means quickly learning how to not get attached to junk.
