When you move house, you take a real hard look at everything, "do I need to take that with me?". Some closets don't fit in the new room, the pans don't work on the new kitchen's induction, and you have no balcony anymore so there's no need for that railing planter. Of course you get new stuff. As for chat - why keep the busted breadmaker you rarely used when there's a good and affordable bakery around the corner? How much value is "sentimental value"?

Of course, you'll regret throwing out some of the things. And other things might take some time getting used to. But overall, you've got to make the new place your own.

And before anyone says: "why move", the old place was not up to code.
