My wife and I went through a life altering event two weeks ago, we rented a 30 yard dumpster (that’s the big one 20+ft long - 8ft high), within a week and a half it was full. You name it we through it out. We had become inundated with stuff and we have become slaves to cleaning sorting and trying to maintain stuff we did not need or use. As we are trying to get our business ideas going we found we did not have time due to the state of our house.
This was a very difficult task for me, being a product of parents who were antique dealer we never throughout anything (Never). I struggled with:
“I could get 2 bucks for this at a yard saleâ€
â€well maybe I would wear that again†even though I had not worn it in three years
or my favorite
“I can still fix this chair†even though it was uncomfortable and needed to be fixed two years ago and we have no place in the house for it.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone who feels like they have to much stuff. We found clothes from high-school, that had managed to find a home in the back of our closet for the last 15 years.
Has anyone else done this or am I the only one who has/had a house full of crap.
The sad part we are going to need to get another dumpster we only peeled off the first layer.
