Already planning to get rid of anything it won't cost more to replace (or can't replace). Will still need bed/couch/washer/dryer/TV etc.
when i moved from san francisco to new york 20ish years ago; i left all of it behind except for a mattress, clothes and blankets and it costed less than $500 since i put those things in the back of my pickup truck and drove there.
i've had to move another dozen or so times since then and i've adjusted to living w few enough possessions that i can just throw them in the back of my pickup truck and leave whenever i get tired of the place i live in; even my washer and dryer are portable.
Before I got married, everything I owned fit in my station wagon. I remember feeling very free.
Same here when I was "married" (technically not married since it was illegal at the time) .
Somehow couples are incapable of doing this.
