What do we do with all this stuff?
Over our lifetime we've accumulated a lot of stuff, like everyone else. Much of it is very nice, but we have no one to leave it to. Aside from a few pictures, guns and a few nice pieces of jewelry, the kids don't need anything. They are all comfortable, and live in california, Arizona and florida.. And I'm just wondering, what do people do with it all if they move into a small apartment or assisted living or just die off in their homes. This is Way Beyond yard sale stuff, and besides, we're already too old to deal with that much work.

There are some great articles lately and you tubes on "swedish death cleaning".
Has really helped us in our downsizing to a smaller home. We've had some great laugh too as we unearth things and bring up memories or wonder why I've hung on to sexy lingerie that I wore when I was a size and didn't know what cellulite was.

4 ReactionsI should have made clear that in our small town a lot of these services are not available. Well we have a Salvation Army center, they do not make pickups. We have three companies that hold themselves out as auction houses, and they are. But it is primarily for vehicles and the occasional boat. And The Story Goes on.

1 ReactionMost of the golf cart users at the Sun City community have never played a game of golf in their life. It seems the golf carts are safer and simpler to drive and maintain. The community allows the carts on the main roads, and everyone is familiar with safety of sharing the road.
