Selling house, changing lifestyle

I will echo lots of other comments; downsizing is really liberating. Didn't need eight casserole dishes--kept two! Kids were given a few things without strings so they can deal with that. We had an antique dealer come in and go through things we thought might have some value, and they bought some stuff outright. Rest went to donation because we weren't set up well for a sale.
Just did the same thing when we upsized the motorhome--lots of stuff you haul around that you don't use, and just adds weight. Enjoy your new freedom!
