Your stuff

Of all the excuses I heard people give for delaying a move to a retirement community, the hands-down winner was, “I need to figure out what I’m going to do with all my STUFF.”

I’m going to refrain from trying to channel my inner George Carlin, who did a brilliant stand up routine on the “stuff topic.”

Instead, I’d just like to pose this question: Will the “stuff” be any easier to deal with a year or two years from now than it is today?

I’m going to go out on a limb and answer that question for you. No, it won’t.

There is a whole industry that is thriving that can help you deal with this topic, but my experience tells me that it has a lot more to do with memories and emotions than it does with the simple disposition of excess belongings.

It’s not easy, but it’s not going to get any easier.

You’ve dropped the turkey when you find yourself literally tripping over your stuff.
