Sold our House - Everything's Headed to Storage - Tips?

[RAYJAY]

If you really want to know how much stuff you have, MOVE!

Get rid of as much as you can - donate, sell, toss, give away all that stuff. Unless your middle name is Grizwald, even consider off loading the holiday decorations. If your kids are grown and out of the house, tell 'em to pick up their stuff. De-clutter. If you haven't used it or worn in the past year, get rid of it. Be ruthless.

Then re-read the above posts about packing and organizing.

Good luck and enjoy the new place when you get it.

ive been in that same situation. my advice is too be patient, and not just buy a house beucase you feel pressured too, and need one. We sold our house which was fairly large and had to be out in 4 weeks, when we only had about 2 weeks to get out and bought a really small house just beucase we felt pressure. we regretted and ended up selling the house a month later beucase of size issues. so think about it before you make and offer. Make sure to pack the storage unit tight , good luck
