We moved to Canada from Japan about 5 years ago. We only started downsizing 2 years ago, and now we have way less stuff than we ever did in Japan.

I wish we here in North America planned our spaces much better.

Downsizing is not just about space. It is about lessening stress, having a smaller environmental impact, increasing financial freedom, and many other things.

I recommend it.
