I'm definitely biased, I keep only about what I can move in my truck. Also around here it's almost trivial to furnish a two bedroom place with used and free stuff for like $300 to $500.

    Moving is incredibly expensive and unrealistic for most people in the US unfortunately.

    It costs a lot more to move into a cheaper place than it does to absorb the increase.

    I guess because of the choices I've made that's not really been the case personally. Usually I get my deposits back in full or nearly in full. I've never hired movers or rented a truck so far. I guess if I needed I would get a trailer and sell it when I'm done with it. As for labor, there's always cheap labor around. Two dudes who want $50 each is probably enough if I couldn't physically move my stuff but irl I would probably have my family help.
