Re: Do You Give Stuff Away?
cschin4, you are absolutely scoring points for frugality by giving things away! Good for you! By reducing the volume of your possesions:
1. You won't end up renting a storage space for your excess stuff. [Some people have storage spaces and can't even remember what is in it.]
2. You won't have to move to a bigger house because your stuff outgrew your current house.
3. If you do move, you won't have to rent a bigger truck just to hold all of your stuff.
When I want to reduce, I do sell things on Ebay or at a garage sale, but I also pass things along to family members or donate to charity.
If there are some items you want to get rid of and want to recoup some of the cost (but can't be bothered with selling it yourself - completely understandable), you may want to try one of the Ebay consigning services.
