When it comes to saving money and learning to live on a lower budget, Pinterest can give you a lot of great starting points, but it can also be a huge waste of money. What is most important? Figuring out your own lifestyle and what is most important for your lifestyle. For example, how much of your "stuff" do you actually use and what "stuff" could you utilize for their actual purpose or re-purpose for something else. I am on a one month journey to completely declutter my life and only own what is necessary. I want to not only do this for myself and my mental health, but to share with the world what minimizing my lifestyle can do.
During these steps, I will be sorting everything in my apartment, room by room, and sorting them between trash, donate, or sell. The following steps are separate from the above plan.
Step 1:
My first step is to list and sell books, DVDs, and CDs online. I have boxes that I will label numerically and I will then store them in my storage closet so when people buy the products, I will be able to find the product easily for shipping.
Step 2:
Any clothing, shoes, or accessories of worth, I plan to bring to local clothing buying boutiques to try to sell.
Step 3:
Collectibles are tricky. I will need to research their value and then find their appropriate pricing value (given their resale value for the buyer).
Step 4:
Organize my craft/sewing supplies into a separate office space.
Step 5:
Celebrate!
I realize there are more steps than these, but these are my basic steps that I plan to take to start the downsizing of my life.
