I’m definitely biased, I keep only about what I can move in my truck. Also around here it’s almost trivial to furnish a two bedroom place with used and free stuff for like $300 to $500.
I guess because of the choices I’ve made that’s not really been the case personally. Usually I get my deposits back in full or nearly in full. I’ve never hired movers or rented a truck so far. I guess if I needed I would get a trailer and sell it when I’m done with it. As for labor, there’s always cheap labor around. Two dudes who want $50 each is probably enough if I couldn’t physically move my stuff but irl I would probably have my family help.
I’ve known families who’ve been more mobile than myself, but you’re right, definitely not average. I used to have a lot more stuff but it gets heavy on the mind.

Moving is incredibly expensive and unrealistic for most people in the US unfortunately.
It costs a lot more to move into a cheaper place than it does to absorb the increase.

You sound very young and without much baggage to move around. You are not the average American family then.
