End of Life Cycle
What is going to happen to my possessions when they have outlived their usefulness and I'm done with them? Take a gander and wonder no longer!
Roughly a third of my possessions are going to end their lives in the trash. Those items are generally the cheaper of possessions I noticed. The more expensive items I own I imagined I will sell after I am done with them to recoup any money I can that I had originally spent on them.
Most of my clothes I have listed as "Give Away" meaning that I intend to donate my used clothes, that are in good condition, when I am done with them. Also, my sentimental possessions are mostly listed as items I'll give away. Most likely not to charity but more in the sense of passing them on.
