There are many things that define Americans, some good, some, well, less than savory. One of these things is stuff. As Americans, we put a high priority on having stuff, the best stuff, the newest stuff, the most expensive, most practical, coolest stuff.
But time goes on, and in time what was once some primo-luxery stuff might become, well, just stuff. And that stuff is stuffing up your closets, drawers, trunk, car and garage floor. You probably pay it little mind, if you come across it at all.
When you move, though, this stuff is going to come to light. It’s going to pour out of its hiding places with a wave of nostalgia, humor and possibly disgust. It might be covered in years of dust. It might smell of mold. You might not remember where it came from, or what it was meant to do.
But it’ll be there, and you should be ready to part ways with it.
If you don’t need that stuff, your new place doesn’t need it. Don’t take it along out of stubbornness because you spent $50 on it back in 2003, or because it could still be of use, hypothetically speaking. It’s best to just get rid of unneeded stuff. You can sell it, give it away or simply toss the most useless things. Perhaps have a , and save some money on moving in the process.
