There is a lot to be said for flexibility and minimalism. Before marriage/kids, I was able to move in one or two trips with a pickup truck.
Once you get married and **have kids** all that goes out the window. Your “stuff” doesn’t just double or triple, it grows exponentially. It’s probably the reason so many families want to own when they have kids. They want the stability of the schools and neighborhood, and they don’t want to cart all that STUFF around from house to house. 🙂
