I wanted to offer some advice: A lot of people are looking at downsizing in this fierce market. As someone interested in the tiny homes market, I have some experience in that field.
I use what I call the box method. Take a box and put it in the middle of the room. Whenever you use something, put it in the box. This could be a metaphorical box or a literal one.
At the end of a month, consider everything not in the box to be donation or trash. Do not include winter clothes in the summer, or some books.
The concept is that if you don't use something in a given month, you're not likely to use it again. Don't think to yourself 'what if I need this' but rather 'why do I still have this'.
Just my $0.02. I hope this helps downsizers.
