We retired about a year and a half ago and decided to sell the house and go RVing full time. We had three yards sales but a lot of stuff was basically given away. (On a side note we should have had extra help as we had several things stolen.) Of coarse we have kept some family items and special things in a storage locker but it really is very freeing to have all that gone. We told the kids they are lucky they won't have to deal with all of that when we die. I don't do as much baking or cooking as I used to and I find that I just don't want to own or possess like I used to. My mother was a packrat and having graduated during the depression, was always of the mindset that you might need that item tomorrow. I am doing much better now at being close to a minimalist. Mind you in a 36' motorhome, you don't have much choice.
