In my 60s and it is a joy to divest thoughtfully after a lifetime of acquisition.   I feel it is a circle of sorts; one must release one thing to make space for another. 

Exception: #bitcoin 

 Yeah it’s an amazing feeling (getting more space for memories instead of stuff). Plus I tend to value the things I have more when I have less. It’s interesting to look back though on how different I am from my past self. I’m sure when I’m in my 60’s I will say the same thing about my current self 🫂 

 my wife has 4 bikes, 4 😭

wtf dawg!😂 

 Borders on hoarder. My mother ended in a packed house (it wasn’t like the tv ones) but it was distressing to me (I am a neatnik) and anyone visiting, to the point where few would attempt to do.   It is mental illness, and requires patience, compassion, disconnection from attachment to outcomes.  It never improves (I organized the house for her many, many times).   Love is a choice; people are work. I had to embrace the chaos, accept that it wasn’t my fault, and move on, so that I be there for her. 

 mum was a hoarder, and so am I 😂

road bike, work commute bike, mountain bike, upgraded mountain bike - kinda justified 🤙🏽 

 😂😂😂😂 does she use them though? 

 Seriously 😳 

 yup 3 are used, one will be sold 😂 

 Smart. You figured that out pretty young. 👍 

 I had an interesting upbringing that made me grow up/mature quickly in some ways, but be a little stunted in others 😂 

 I think that is the case with most of us. Life's an interesting adventure. Happy trails. 😊  

 Likewise! 🫂 

 Minimalist mindset 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 

 Yeah I guess so. Even though I still have too much stuff. It’s a whole process. I’m just slowly getting rid of what we don’t need and not acquiring anything else. 

 I heard during a webinar that someone said "if I don't touch something during a year then I gave  it, sell it or throw it"
I try to use the same rule. I fail sometimes 😁 

 The less you have the less you need to maintain. Spent the weekend cleaning cars and baby seats 🙄 

 Exactly! I don’t like organizing or cleaning, but the more decluttering, the easier it gets. 

 There is a sense of satisfaction from clearing a backlog of admin though, especially quirky jobs like cleaning a baby car seat that hasn’t been touched in 3 years and has fungus growing out of it. 

 💯 

 Definitely  

 All things, possessions, relationships, thoughts, etc. fall on the scale of assets to liabilities. The trick is being aware and honest with yourself about where they fall.

You're doing great! 

 Very true and thank you 🫂🙏 

 The more responsibilities we gain the more we begin to realize how impractical many of our personal possessions are. 

 Ain’t that the truth 🎯 

 Wait a minute. What. You’re not still in your late teens? 

 I wish 😭 

 Nice, I have something similar. But these things I have are of better quality and more long-lasting 

 Definitely. It’s a good feeling 

 One should travel light.
