From a 2000 square foot house ten years ago to a backpack and a 5 x 5 storage space. It takes a surprising amount of work to just get rid of stuff. What do you keep? What do you sell? What do you give away? What and how do you recycle? How do you store what you keep long term? Even a climate-controlled storage unit is not controlled enough.
It has not been easy but it feels great to be free from owning and having to maintain so much stuff.
