[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downsize. Move to a smaller home. Shed clothing, furniture, and Knick knacks. [/quote] At 55?!!? How old are you? I can see doing this at 75 maybe when age and mobility could really be a factor. But 55? OP just got done Building her life and Aquiring her things. She doesn’t need to downsize at 55, that’s ridiculous[/quote] Minimalists downsize way younger. It allows them to be flexible. I was able to take a job when I was younger because I had few possessions and could move with a few weeks' notice. My older colleagues with more assets and possessions didn't even apply. Matt Paxton, the decluttering organizer, has some good books on this topic. He discusses how he almost didn't move to merge households with his future wife because his stuff was overwhelming. Downsizing st 55 with adult children allows the OP to cut costs and move somewhere else if she feels like it. If she does get ill, it's less stress for her kids.[/quote]
