I got rid of most of them after we moved, and I shook my head the entire time I packed the boxes. I could not believe I had so much, let alone moved it all. That is why I try to subscribe to very few magazines. I'll have them stacked up everywhere if I don't .Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-81399436554053438372014-10-11T22:43:24.608-05:002014-10-11T22:43:24.608-05:00We are trying to do the same thing.

So our house is on the market right now, actually has been for over 100 days. We live in Ohio, not sure where you live. We listed in July. Houses were selling in May and June. A few have been selling sense. Ours is underpriced and still not selling. We have a condo waiting for us. It is so hard having your house listed esp.. if you have pets. You are right, it becomes someone elses' house when it is on the market. Make sure that when you list that it is the best time in your area. Even if things aren't totally ready go ahead and list it. Good luck. If you need any tips, I have heard them all.

Also, so many times I intended to sell (houses, cars, sewing machines) in order to 'do better' financially, but with all the fees, changes in prices, taxes, etc., and my own reality of what I really wanted vs what I thought I wanted, I always seem to end up further behind. I'm trying to learn contentment and not always be looking to do better. I hope you're better at these things than I am!RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-73993849621928051312014-10-11T20:32:05.460-05:002014-10-11T20:32:05.460-05:00An exciting journey, looking for a new place.

With it comes will all the excess baggage or the "stuff".<br />As I get older, I don't like the clutter, and have given alot way to Goodwill this past year. I am more selective with what I purchase now, and with my DH still not employed full time permanent helps the situation immensley. I think alot about moving but oh the work of it all, and I still have kids here at home and all their ( stuff )/ I like the sheds though, a very own craft building...saweeeeet...thank you for stopping over, good advice and stuff to ponder. You are so awesome. <br /> .

I have slowly purging over the last couple of years because, ultimately, we are going to do what you are going to do. MyHero has one more year before he retires and then our lives will change. I took early retirement and have never looked back BUT I do miss having my own money. <br /><br />I don't know WHY we save so much stuff. I used to think it was because "one of our kids will want it someday" but then realized that is just an excuse. NONE of them want ANY of it. lol<br />Yep- time to purge and purge and purge! Good luck- I'll be praying for ya. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-65468107260779028842014-10-11T14:12:45.399-05:002014-10-11T14:12:45.399-05:00All that stuff is funny but it is actually rather ...All that stuff is funny but it is actually rather normal. Think about all the pay to store units everywhere. I live in a neighborhood where most every house has 2-3 car garages. We park our 2 vehicles in ours but many of my neighbors park in their driveway because their garages are PACKED with junk. When we lived in the country, our neighbors built 2 huge storage buildings, like 20 by 40 each. They are side by side and they call,them his and her barns. Her junk is in one and his junk is in the other. <br /><br />Ps- you can come sweep my porch anytime you want. <br /><br />Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-26405448695056481432014-10-11T13:54:40.008-05:002014-10-11T13:54:40.008-05:00You learn a lot about yourself by looking at the h...You learn a lot about yourself by looking at the houses of others.
