The wife and I moved cross-country two years ago, and were living out of suitcases for a couple of weeks while the moving truck caught up to us. Somewhere around day 10 we realized: If the moving truck was vaporized by a meteor, and they handed us a check for the amount it was insured for, we would have considered it a good trade. So a lot of crap got ditched (after paying to move it clear across the country facepalm). We now live by the equal-volume rule: For anything that comes into the house, something of equal or greater volume must leave.
