I've done it multiple times an have lived in eight states. Absolutely everything I owned fit in my car. Once I retired I started collecting things though. While I was working, I figured that I'd always need to remain light because I followed the wok around and bought very few things. But it did take me two carloads to move from my last rental.
According to this, there is not that big of a longterm discrepancy between home ownership by age of householder and under 29 looks like they are doing better than genX, not counting 2005. It looks like 2005 was a fluke
I grew up in the suburbs. What exactly I miss? I lived on the literal border of all the wilderness I could handle (lifelong avid hiker) and a 65c bus ride to downtown, grocery store 200m away, 15 minute walk to the movie theater and mall and a 20 minute bike ride to the amphitheater where I saw some big name bands. Also had a big yard with a huge vegetable garden.
Whenever I make pizza, I let the dough sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 days afterwhich it smells and tastes like beer. Sometimes I'll eat a significant mount of raw dough and get a buzz from it.
I own my house free and clear. Taxes and monthly expenses are very small and can live very nice on little money. A basic income would be enough for me to buy another rental property increasing my small income.
Twenty years ago we were doing remote software updates, an early step of which was to erase existing flash. It would essentially make the device self destructed if we'd have stopped there. Doing any more is kinda pointless unless you really need to see smoke come out.
Honestly, the web was more interesting when I had dial up. It used to be so much more than videos and advertisement. At least as far as techies go. Now it's biased heavily towards the LCD.
I'm not over 50, but remember that time very well and think this often. I guess I'll never know life solely after the interwep either (yes, I know I was born after the creation of the internet). I'm fully fluent in the technology, I'd bet more than the majority of the user, but never saw much of a point in most of it. Maybe it will be a long passing fad
I remember, extremely well and not too long ago, how everyone, especially here on slashdot, thought that Microsoft was on the verge of owning all the means of production. What happened?
The following is an a cut and paste from an email I received from a friend last week who live off grid and on solar. I don't have any of these problems...but I know what I am doing, most people don't:

Wow, it's just like evolution. Those that can adapt will do well, and those who can't die out. The horror.
A starbuck's a day is $1300/year. Internet and cable is easily over $2000/year, My family's phone bill I remember was $9, $20 2016 inflation adjusted.

why not just stimulate the pleasure center that the porn eventually ends up at?
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
From chip level up through the PCB. Embedded engineers still have to know these things.

Yes, I'm sure a basic income would benefit me greatly.
I'm sure it's good for their karma. Awwwwww look, they care.

an give it to everyone to really see how it will pan out. Then maybe we can stop wasting so much energy debating hypotheticals.

No no no. That's the best part. Depending on you POV.

to stop telling other people what to do.
Wasn't this the plot to I Am Legend ?

It costs Boeing hundreds of millions of dollars to certify a new plane's autopilot through the FAA. Perhaps they shouldn't have to either.

I spent five yeas in school learning how to eliminate bias from my observations.
