Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Most of you are much too young to start looking at the things you have packed around for years and ask “Do I really need/use this? Would the kids really want it?”.
What got DH fired into action was his elderly sister’s collectables and her need for cash for MS drugs. He got busy with a camera and did a lot of research. Teaching him how to use eBay involved a lot of moaning and whining but he figured it out (not bad for a guy closing in on 70), and sold them off on eBay for a very tidy sum. He caught the CraigsList and eBay bug! He gets so tickled when he adds up the profit on hers and our sales.
Bit by bit (box by box) we are starting to clear things out. It may take a year or two before we are ready for our next down-size, but just like our IRAs, results take a while.
