I did that in my Uni years moving from residence to apartment & vice versa during the summer breaks. Had an air mattress for a bed, got my furniture from the Salvation army or 2nd hand from other students.
However that is in the past. When you have reached my age, you accumulate plenty of barang, barang & it would be a waste to throw away e.g. teak furniture, ergonomic desk, Herman Miller chair, computers, book collection, TV, kitchen appliances, ...
No choice, one must invest in cleaning systems like a steam mop, vacum cleaner, .. etc. If one does not have a maid , must look at automated systems like a robot cleaner. The amount I save doing without a maid can easily pay for the automation devices. However I am looking at a more long term solution such as moving out of Spore.
In places like Thailand a part-time maid is relatively cheap. They'll come in during the day to do the cleaning & cooking. It's also cheaper to get a motor cycle or car which makes it easier to get around to do errands like buying groceries.
so now u are shackled to ur world of material possessions and creature comforts and ur catalogue of ikea furniture collection and herman miller chairs.ur life is nothing but a collection of things u saw in the magazines,tv and internet.u are no longer living ur life,instead ur belongings are ur life.
all u need is a match and a gas stove and fifteen minutes.close the windows,turn on the gas stove for fifteen minutes and toss the match in and u will be free.and collect ze insurance.
buy a van and u can live in it and travel the world like this couple.
