Don't be tied down by your furniture

Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste. -- Saadi (1184-1291)

A number of years ago, an old climbing buddy of mine graduated from college, got a job, and bought a couch.  At the time his best friend, who was more attuned to sleeping under the stars than on a sofa, berated him for purchasing something that would tie him down, force him to have a home base, and prevent him from picking up and moving on.  It was only the first step; it wasn't long before my friend had purchased a house that stuck him smack in the middle of settled.

Greetings from SoCal. To me, good furniture is definitely worth the hassle. Hopefully, when I buy a place, my current furniture will fit well. Then again, I've never been too much into decor or style... it's all about comfort and durability. Yeah, I'm an engineer.
