> I did exactly that when I moved from my HUGE 5 bedroom farmhouse. I first packed up the very FEW things I wanted to keep and put them in storage. Then I called someone who had an auction house and gave everything I owned away. I told them they had to take everything or nothing. Yes, I know I could have sold it, had a garage sale, ran ads, etc and could have made some good money BUT I was so sick of dealing with so much "stuff" for so long the value meant nothing to me. I can't tell you what a relief it was to just walk away. I left my furniture and nearly literally everything I owned except personal things like family photos and my clothes. It was an incredible feeling...like the world had been lifted off my chest. I don't regret it or miss ANY of it one bit!
