Under what circumstance would you leave your furniture behind in a move?

I don't understand why my family member left all furniture behind. They had to move in with another family member so storage was an issue BUT, you could have had things go to different members garage or get a storage unit.

This person has done this multiple times. I don't see why one would want to keep starting over with buying furniture, beds, kitchen gadgets, basically left everything besides clothes.

I feel sorry for this person's child...who hasn't had a bed in years.😓
