Keeping possessions to a minimum

[DebSP]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with free cycle? I would use something like that to unload items that are good but not needed. But you have to register just to see what it is about. I am so tired of registering for things and then finding out it is not what I expected. I end up convincing my husband to donate usable items to Goodwill or Value Village. I have been saving things for our children if they move out on their own only to find out that either they don't want it or need it! Oh well.

I also struggle with the clutter demon, although I'm pretty strict about keeping things past the point of needing-loving-using them. What I love to do is pass something on to someone who can need-love-use it after I'm done. One tool that helps me is Craig's List, the free section and the curb alert section. If I can't sell something for cheap, I just post it there and boom, it's gone, and often to young folks just starting out. It's a good feeling.
