[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 635545, member: 43545"] The best decision I ever made was leasing out the house in NorCal, Marin county and moved with 2 suitcases to a city in a country I did not know the language,having no clue what I would do to support myself or where to live in 2001. I gave everything away, cars, property, everything except 1 house, and 1 car and a small storage unit filled with awards, old photos, some old electronic test equipment, not much was saved. Moving from a 14 room house to a 35 square meter apartment in a 1828 building in the heart of a large city was like freedom. I was never a city person but I had visited hundreds around the world but living simply, getting rid of TV and the cars. Was a great adventure and opened infinite possibilities. It is still fun every day low stress, very low cost of living. Now I have a larger apartment but also gained a live-in GF and a 12 yo Persian cat. Slowly over the years brought back any test gear that would fit in my suitcases so all the test gear now sit in an electronics lab in a spare bedroom. We operate a business together, do a lot of traveling and I got back into photography which is the best hobby for meeting people...particularly very attractive young women who love good photos;>) My total living expense if out of the city or country for a month, the bills waiting for me when I return are less than $30.
