The nomadic lifestyle of people who own a house... they can't take with them.

Back in the bad old days houses were portable.
To some folks, who live in yurts or tents, they still are, but many of them have a stone lodge or a cave set aside for inclement weather or a vacation.
The land belonged to the Earth in the bad old days. People moved with the herds or the seasons, hunting and gathereing. Now the land belongs to the real estate agents and people move when they can't pay their rent or their mortgage.
With the planting of roots in fixed abodage, people had a place to put their portable stuff. They piled up junk until it took a half dozen trucks to move it from one place to another or to the landfill.
People used to only take what they could carry, now they carry whatever they can take.
