We didn't move much anyway. Midwest furniture is not a fit down here. Plus, movers charge by the pound for long-haul moves.

Wut?

Does space work differently in Florida than in the midwest?  

I think were I to have a place near the beach, I'd probably prefer having lighter beachier furniture.

I got an apartment in 1976 after spending one year in a dorm in Chapel Hill.  $135 a month, literally across the tracks.  A buddy had an old "bread truck" missing third gear I borrowed to move some stuff from ATL to CH.  I mostly needed a bed.  

That was a decent apartment especially at that rent.  That's where I'd go down and play basketball and be the only honkie playing.  That was fun really once they quit treating me with kit gloves.

Damn Papa was a rolling stone.I've pulled up stakes but that's like the tribes striking the tents teepees and following the buffalo/elk herds

Yep. Lot of life changes in that decade. Started in West Lafayette in 2000. Then San Jose. Then after 11 months in SJ my roommate wanted to move to downtown SJ and I moved to a different place in SJ. Then I got laid off and ended up moving to SoCal, but wasn't married, so rented a room in a house for a while until I got married and moved into an apt with my now-ex. Lived there and she bought a dog (we weren't allowed to have one) and when they found out, had to move again to a different apartment. Decided we wanted to leave SoCal and moved to GA. Turned around and moved 2 years later back to CA. I told her if I was moving back to CA I wanted to be near the beach. So we got a small apt near the beach. One kid arrived, then 2nd kid arrived, so we moved to a more spacious condo. Finally the collapse of the real estate market came, and we finally bought a house at the end of 2010.

I'd still be living there now, with a ton of equity, but I couldn't afford to buy her out of her equity in the divorce and we had to sell it. Still wish I'd found a way to afford it... Probably the worst financial move of my adult life. 

I bought my ex out

daughters stayed in the same house

all worked out pretty well

Well beachier couches don't hold up well here during football season. Maybe great with the wine and cheesers not so much for the pretzels and beer crowd

now-ex, another not a bad idea
