Again, this maybe hard with wife/kids.

When single I changed countries every 1-2 years (moved a lot around Europe). I learned to live with very little, but it isn't as easy when you have wife/kids (and uprooting your kid just for the sake of minimalism isn't really fair).

You don't have to change cities or even neighborhoods to move every year. I've gone through phases in my life where I get tired of my apartment every year and move across the street.

FWIW, I have a wife and 4 school-aged kids. :-)

Whoa! 4? My life is chaotic enough with just one :) How do they feel about the moving around?

Wife and I talked about moving in a couple of years, but I'm reluctant because of the kid.

My kids are used to it at this point, at least that's what they tell us. Whether it's completely true or not, only they know. We do our best to make sure and move to places that are interesting for them and then to enjoy whatever is around that area as a family.
