[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downsize and simplify- get rid of the clutter and stuff and let go without trying to get family members to take it off your hands. Do this while you are still well enough to call the shots and later decisions about where you are to move will be so much easier (not to mention much less costly). [/quote] Agree, but check with family about irreplaceable things like photos. My grandmother threw away all of their photographs and films of our trips together when my siblings and I were young (we spent weeks with them every year in my youth , lots of crazy car trips), she was trying not to be a burden but my sisters and I would have loved to go through them. In her defense she did this after spending 10 years taking care of her aging mother and understood the burden of stuff, but we still miss those photos.[/quote]
