Loved these moving tips from Justine Garrett of The Hairpin. She says when you decide to move and are evaluating which items you should keep, donate or sell, you should agonize over each object for any or all of the following reasons:
- The amount of money you spent on it and its genuine worthlessness now.
- How little you actually used it despite your promises to yourself when you bought it.
- The loving moments that you and your current or former husband or boyfriend had within a 10-foot radius of it.
- How much your landlord will charge you if you leave it.
- How much weight you’ve gained or lost in such a short period of time (and weight gain, weight loss, or a change in eating habits are also life stressors!).
- Whether the people at Out of the Closet will make snide remarks when you donate it.
- How much your friends will judge you when they’re moving it.
My advice is sell it all.
