I want to live like this too, but I need tools.  I need automotive tools.  I can&#x27;t afford mechanics bills, nor trust the workmanship.  I need tools to repair watches--which turned into a side business. Plus I have home contractor tools. It&#x27;s the tools that has me waited down.<p>I have a library I can thin down, but it&#x27;s hard.  It&#x27;s 99 percent refrence.  And the first editions--well I like them more than some people.  I wouldn&#x27;t have ever started the library, but didn&#x27;t think books would be so digitally available.<p>I have a couple of vaccumes I could get rid of, but who would cut my hair?  Flobee--and they do work, if you have a little bit of coordination.  I hated going to the hair salon.<p>That said--if I had to go leave real quick, I would take all my watches, and jeweler&#x27;s tools.  I could fit everything in three legal sized boxes.   I would take another three legal sized boxes of books.  I would leave my tool chest, and put all tools in six legal sized boxes.<p>I might need to move quick in the future.  I&#x27;m not sure where I will go.  I won&#x27;t pay Bay Area rents again.  I go out at night, and the people I would interact with moved away.  The Bay Area is just not that fun anymore.  Never thought I would say that, but then again couldn&#x27;t imagine living in the Midwest.<p>I am greatful I never had a kid.  Never thought I would say that.  I like them, but I never thought life in America would be this ruthless.<p>I gave away my inheritance, from a pretty brutal father.  At the time, I didn&#x27;t think I would ever need it, nor wanted anything from the man.  I gave it all to a family member.  I should have kept some of it.  It was a lot too.<p>On the positive side, when I&#x27;m dying, I won&#x27;t need to make to many amends.  I haven&#x27;t screwed over anyone--I can recall.  My exes don&#x27;t want to keep in touch.  One told me, &quot;You can be really hurtful. You have hurt my feelings more than any other person.&quot;  She&#x27;s now seeing women.  I knew I was kinda a handful, but I didn&#x27;t intentionally want to hurt her feelings.  I just couldn&#x27;t continually agree.<p>Got off track.
