Where do you want to grow old?

edsutton,
I couldn’t agree more.
Downsizing could not be more attractive to me. It always has been.
My husband does the cooking and there are more than a hundred spices in the kitchen. I cut out a recent cartoon from the New Yorker and taped it to the spice cabinet door. The cartoon was bottles of spices plotting to multiply and then take over.
It’s the getting rid of stuff, the questions about what to keep, how to move the rest and what to do with it that are weighing me down.

Susan Falcon-
I suspect we all have our stories about getting spousal agreement! If you can't make progress, professional coaching may be needed.
A friend of mine could not make up her mind, and eventually hired a coach who walked with her through the entire process of condensing two houses of memorabilia to fit into a small retirement home.
My wife and I both worked from home offices, so we are accustomed to having full control of our individual rooms, and this really helps us compromise in the shared rooms.
