Have you ever sold everything you own and gotten all new stuff?

Using my answer on another question for my question here

I had an interesting thought a little while ago…
How much money would I have if I sold everything I own? Everything!

The answer is quite a bit…

So here’s the analogy: When I was in high school I got really into guitar. Eventually I owned like 7 guitars. All “cheap” knockoffs. Epiphone instead of Gibson. Squire’s instead of Stratocasters. Applause instead of Ovation… Then one day I saw a 1986 Gibson Les Paul Custom (a really nice guitar) that I really wanted… I sold every guitar I had and dropped another $1200 on top of that money to get it. Essentially what I ended up doing was starting over my collection at a higher class. Over the years, the rest of the collection would come to followed suit. And in the end, why would I have hung onto those lesser models? I almost did mind you…

So then think about this… You sell all your stuff and what? Maybe start a business. Maybe invest. Takes money to make money~. Maybe you just straight turn around and start buying other versions of the stuff you’ve sold. Newer better and/or older nicer versions. Or maybe you just pocket the money and go roam the world for a bit. That would greatly change you as well. Maybe it takes that kind of risk or departure to truly become something greater. If you have the same clothes, same house, same art, same computer, dining table, job, etc… If you sit on the same couch, in the same house, watching the same TV… If you couldn’t let go of anything that was, can you really claim a new existence?
