BillyVance 34 #2 January 12, 2018 keithbar You never know how much crap you have acumulated until you have to move it after 24 years Next time just burn it all down. Problem solved. FWIW, I hope I never move. Been in my house since 2000. Amazed at what I've amassed in all that time, and there's more still coming in the near future... as we try to finish up my recently deceased mother in law's estate work.

Rick 67 #3 January 12, 2018 Hi Keith We move last year after 29 years in the same house. For a small house we sure had a lot of stuff. My son and his wife moved in a month after we moved out so at least we had some time to move it all. Oh and as far as your back being sore. You know they have people you can pay to move your shit . And generally they are a bit younger than you and I. Muff Muff see you in Fitz You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just shoot me before I have to go to one of those places filled with old people, who smell like urine, baby powder and peppermint! If I smell like that, I want it to be in my own home. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimjumper 25 #10 January 14, 2018 Being in the military I moved every 2-3 years and didn't accumulate much stuff. I got married 2 years before I retired and then I moved into my wifes home. I had less than 1500 pounds in my entire household goods shipment. Moving keeps you from hanging onto junk! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billeisele 122 #11 January 14, 2018 I'm right there with ya, been here 27 years and finally moving we've thrown away a ton, donated 10+ loads to charity and filled a 12x20 storage unit, it's finally cleaned up to enough to list close on the new house in February, will start moving the storage unit and hires movers for the houseGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got married 2 years before I retired and then I moved into my wifes home. I had less than 1500 pounds in my entire household goods shipment. Moving keeps you from hanging onto junk! I've always admired our military friends that seem to have a good handle on not having too many frivolous possessions. I'd love to get my lifestyle that lean. 4 years ago Vskydiver and I moved from a 3300 sq. ft. home with 4 kids to a 2000 sq. ft. home with an empty nest. We got rid of maybe half our stuff, but still have too much. From her sewing shop to my many hobbies, man, we have a lot of STUFF. Sports equipment, artwork, and photo albums are all worthwhile items, but if I had to live it all over again, I'd have us avoid ALL collectables. Other than that, I think we have it pared down to useful stuff, for the most part. I know someday it will be the 1 or 2 bedroom condo, and maybe just one car. At that point, no more garden tools or lawnmower, table saw and pipe clamps. I just don't know if I'm ready to live without a drill press and all my other tools.
