Yep. No question. I'd trade it all for a late '60s VW minivan, KOA Camps, and roadside quietspots - beaches, mountains ..... whatever. I'd stop at an outdoor concert or two, listen to bands I've never heard before, who might never go anywhere ..... but I'd love'em. Even if their music sucked, it would be cool.
I'd eat s'moores with strangers at firesides, and chat about their lives. They'd ask about mine - I'd wipe melted chocolate off my mouth, pat my guitar, and point at my minivan ..... If my dog were to growl indignantly, I'd point at him too.
Are you kidding? I've wanted this my whole life ..... In a funny sort of way, I think I'm finding that path anyway. I'm just taking the long road to get there.

The more you own, the more it owns you. We often become slaves to the very things we worked so hard to gain. Now we are propelled by fear of loss to maintain them. Once you no longer have it; you have less at stake and more options. It is important to live within your means to create time for the people and things in your life that are important to you.
If you have it, enjoy it...but don't be a slave to it. Yes, wouldn't it be nice to see where the winds take us? Not possible for most of us...and in the end, a little security or stability is also comforting. I imagine it would depend on your comfort level or willingness to embrace uncertainty...although, as we all know: "There are no guarantees in life." So maybe "chucking" it is more practical than it may first appear! I have been tempted many times.

No! Thinking that you have a better chance in life somewhere where you know almost no one, have no idea what life there is like and have no buisness goin there is pointless!
Be glad cause you have such a perfect life as compared to millions or even trillions of children in Africa who have to run from their own countries... A guy from Sudan in my school told us of the horrifing escape he had from being a soilder in Sudan at the age of 12 and taking a 3 month journey to get to Kenya and along the way, there was almost no water, they had to eat grass (I mean it!) and even ALMOST ate the bodies of their dead people cause they had nothing to eat..
God has given you a wonderful life and you should jst b happy and stay put... Stay where you are!

Yes, I have. Sometimes I just want to start walking, and only stopping for a bite to eat or a place to sleep. Sometimes the materialism of life makes me angry and I just want to leave it all. Walk to a new town, meet new people, then do the same thing the next day.

I'd be leaving and giving it all to charity. If I find paradise somewhere, money really does not matter. I can live without money for sure.
