Yes/No - Scrap the answer that does not apply.

Do Yes, or do not no. There is no try maybe.

You know that the best diet is the DRC diet... you don't eat and practice DRC all day.
The most effective one though is the one that has a big guy chasing you to give you the best DRC of your life...
Just come if you start with any of them and tell...

So after more than 26 years I'm moving out of my first house/home.
My parents bought a new house and I'm moving with them.
My own house will hopefully be ready later this year (there have been lots of problems with the build...).
It amazes me how much stuff I actually have. And how little of it I actually use.
I am subscribed to three magazines. I've kept about 15 years of a popular scientific magazines, about 15 years of gaming magazines and 10 years of a (metal) music magazine.
Furthermore I have about 1000 CD's and LP's and 500 DVD's.
And some random stuff that has sentimental value, like gifts from people and souvenirs from faraway places.
And I get to move all of it again in a few months...

|
|
|
Just think, if we didn't have so much stuff, we wouldn't even need houses! 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
Or at least smaller ones...

I heard a definition of a house as follows:
A house is where you keep all your stuff while you are out getting more stuff.
That sums it up for me.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Very well said, that's the extra baggage we live with.

It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate and ususally I move it all and throw out un-needed stuff after I move it?

The question is what you don't need. You may not need it now, but maybe later.
Or you might just like to hang on to stuff just because you've had it for so long and you feel good having it.
When I ask my parents why they hang on to stuff they don't need they answer "so you can throw it out after we passed away", I guess that's how it goes...
|
|
|
|

and I find as soon as I throw it out I need it. If I would have hung on to stuff from when I was a kid I'd be a rich man today? You never know what has value.

For me throwing out stuff is never easy. There's probably a reason I have something and I've kept it up to now. I probably paid for it

That is about the only reason to keep things you don't use, but only keep things that have very real sentimental value, not just old junk from your childhood.

What amazes me is that you still feel compelled to life with (and therefore off ) your parents.
Given that you must be at least 26, why haven't you moved out before and got your own place?
Ye Gods, I was 18 when I left for university and have never lived with my parents since.
My son was 17 when he left home and moved in with a couple of pals.
(Didn't work out, but he didn't come home, just moved in with his girlfriend).
To still be at home at your age is really odd.

He does seem to be in the process of creating his own home, but I don't think scrounging off staying at home with the parents is that unusual these days. The era of turn at and leave is long gone.

I live on a seperate floor with two pretty big rooms and a toilet.
My parents leave me alone most of the time.
I don't do (m)any chores at home, I don't pay for stuff, I can use the BMW on the driveway.
I used to play the drums which is easy here since we live in a house detached from others.
When I move out on my own (prior to this that probably would've been a small apartment) I'd lose space, I'd lose the car, I'd lose time doing all those chores, I would have to give up drumming...
The last thing I'd want is to live with some strangers in a big city in a students apartment. Yikes!
I guess I'm just really spoiled.
Since about a year I don't want to live here anymore.
My dad has been picking up on piano playing, so I get to listen to that every night for a few hours. I've been living with it for about one to two years and decided I really needed to get out.
Plus something has been missing here since my cat died at the age of almost twenty over a year ago.
That's when I bought a house (I could get a girlfriend and two kids there and I'd still have enough rooms, not that I don't want any kids).
I still really don't feel like moving out on my own though... Because that's just what it'll be; on my own. At least I'll get a new cat.
