Options For Getting Rid of Stuff

Once we made the decision to go on the global adventure, the very next decision was to sell/gift/give away as much of our stuff as possible. We knew we wanted to store as little as possible, nor did we really want to store anything. More importantly we wanted to take this opportunity to simplify, organize and systematize our life and embrace the minimalistic lifestyle that is growing in popularity



How we got rid of our stuff:
1) Facebook
2) Craig's List
3) eBay
4) Garage Sales
5) Auction at our Concert Party
6) Donate
7) Gift to friends

The process of selling our items, especially the more emotionally valuable items was both challenging and rewarding. While it was sometimes difficult to make the decision to let go of certain items, once those items were sold, we found ourselves 'not' missing the items AND we felt so much lighter.

Having gone through the experience I highly recommend it to anyone.
