We watch for families who lose their homes from fires and need household items (actually hoping those are few and far between). We are planning to sell at yard sales, maybe let some go with the house like the big lawn mower for the land. Lots of ways to get rid of it and hoping, like you, with eight years or so remaining, there will be plenty of time to get it done. I've though about waiting for the actual retirement date to come and then take a few months to get rid of stuff when we have more time to do so without having to work. Also, the wife and I have talked about agreeing to a storage shed for one year for hard to replace items just to make sure the full time thing works. If we decide its the life style we want, then ditch the shed and move a few boxes into the daughter's house (have to be quiet about that cause she does not know yet).

Then my son and his bride informed me that they didn't want all my beautiful Christmas items. They wanted their own. Broke my heart. But I knew I couldn't keep it. And once it was gone, believe it or not, it really was a relief. I knew that it actually went to people who wanted it and would enjoy it because they bought it from me. My clothes went to Dress for Success for women who are job hunting. Now I don't miss any of it. I love the simple less cluttered life. Just take a drawer at a time. Don't try and take a room at a time. That's too much to handle.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.com
