scaredy, I think you are experiencing a life change, perhaps middle age crazy onset. Last week it was pessimism about marriages, this week about owning nothing and the benefits of being a vagabond. From memory you have school aged kid(s)? You have no mobility, just do what the rest of us do, channel your crazy into something else, buy a harley, buy a vette, take up golf or join a gym. Worrying is a state of mind, so is fear, start working on the inside stuff before making big decisions on the outside stuff otherwise no strategy will bring hapiness.
