Patti, no worries – no interesting comment gets deleted here!

I was traveling around East Java the last couple of days and didn’t have access to the internet. Therefore no comment was approved at all – but as you can see, none got lost as well.

Usually I confirm comments at least once in 24 hours, just didn’t have the chance this time. Sorry for that! I hope you will comment again and enjoy your time at nomad4ever.com. Happy decluttering and congrats to your courageous decision to change your life!

I guess I was too nice and too supportive in my reply to this article, that it was deleted? That’ll teach me.

Hi Nomad,

Great to see you and others doing what I’m working on. Decluttering is where I am, and have been for the past 5 years!

I’ve already donated 20 boxes of like-new books to my local library, LOST money on “feebay,” and gave away roomfuls of household goods and clothing to local thrift shops and charities in two states. Right now my house is technically de-cluttered, but once I find new homes for my furniture and a few other small things, I will reach my goal of “everything I own in my car” (which at 10 yrs old is reliable and paid for).

Other than that, I still need to figure out how to make a living “on the road” — without being chained to the Internet — as well as how to bring my 3 cats along. Oh yeah, and how to explain to my Depression-raised parents why I want to leave a steady civil service job, where I just got a raise and a promotion.

Thanks for sharing that article, Mike! I like especially your analogy with the Zen minimalist approach. Aren’t they really smart these Japanese?

Hi, Chris!
Your introduction struck me straight through…
Yes, I buy a lot of things, realizing later I didn’t have my own house to put all of these things. Later, it became a burden for me to move from one place to another. I should have minimized things…
Thanx for the idea. I might need to remind myself about “de-cluttering” my life through this blog entry…
