I try to go by that with my stuff and pretty much do. THe kids things are hard to get rid of. What if they want to play with those toys later or if I want to hand them to someone else?

I will probably have to double check to make sure I'm not giving away my senior yearbook or anything.....but then I wonder, do I really need that?? Oh the management of it all! @joanna

You'd think FOUR TRIPS to Goodwill already would have put a dent in it, but not so much! @Elizabeth Finney

I'll believe it when I see it!! You know, you can actually load your POD, they'll drive it someplace warm, and then you can unload it right there! Very, very tempting with the weather we are having....hope the furnace can be fixed!! @StorkWatcher

I've wondered about the PODs - good to have a personal friend who can give feedback on those. Just yesterday, husband was swearing we were ditching the old leaky, farmhouse with broken furnace and moving out of (to a warmer?) state... I don't think he was too serious, but just in case, I'll keep PODs in the back of my mind.... SO glad to hear it’s all progressing.

A year later, we finally tackled the closet and decided we could live without the stuff in the boxes. Getting rid of Stuff is liberating!

Since by definition we've proven we can live without it?" unbelievable what you can cull from your house. I guess that's one advantage of moving frequently - you don't build up quite as many piles...
