All I can figure is that he doesn't cook and just eats out all the time. He does say something about not worrying about the cost of food.
I hope he enjoys his gut and general ill-health after a year of eating out.
I'm currently hard at work with this self, but having a girlfriend complicates things. Every day before leaving home, I visit my bookshelf, select one of my 1-200+ books that I never read anyway and throw it away. I smile, thinking to myself that I just made moving out of the apartment a little .. lighter.

Some larger things you can probably give away via classifieds or just putting them on the curb with a note.
Being married and having a couple of kids, you have to accept your life is not just yours, it is shared with others who have needs AND wants.

I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three
and over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four,

This was a very typical time. I was single.
All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo,
