Rightsizing
I have just enjoyed a seminar entitled downsizing & rightsizing was introduced.
It was a seminar for all those who are downsizing but in particular those who may be looking at retirement villages, aged care & that later chapter in our lives.
The presentation was presented by Leah & Clarissa.from Care to Move
They only started two years ago. They both had been nurses & that is a great comfort as they by definition are carers by natural & training.
They very definitely have found a niche business.
It was all about letting go of the stuff that holds us down.
Stuff.
Yes not to leave this move until it is too late.
Hence they created an ideal time frame of 12 months with objectives to achieve .
Not the too frequent 12 days & in particular over the Christmas period.
So what do we do with the old books, or the old paint tins in the man shed or the special diner set or the mattress or the photos or…….
How do we sort out the wardrobe?
Each item & a solution was expanded on .
Maybe to the auction house or Gumtree or a charity or different Facebook groups.
Specialist websites for valuing your collection.
Realistic advice that that furniture isn’t worth as much as you would hope.
What to do with the grown up children stuff which is still stored at home
Not an easy time for all of us as very emotional.
A 3rd opinion helps.
A spring clean my mother would say.
Yes sir.
