The time has come for me to put most of my stuff for sale. Some friends of mine have offered me to rent a room for the next year, so most of everything I own has to be sold. Letting go of my 3 room apartment for this one room will be saving me close to 400$ a month, so add it up for the next year it's close to 5000$ more in my pockets for when I will leave for Latin America next year. Woohoo. Selling all my belongings is another few thousand dollars also. Things are all getting into place and I love it. To me this is one step further to getting on the road next year, I just can't wait.
There a few buts, how much should I be asking for my stuff, what should I keep and what should I sell. Dilemma, dilemma, I'm now going through everything, emptying the closets and trying to figure out what it's all worth. I only have a month ahead of me to sell it all, so I don't want to give it away, but I also don't want to be stuck with it either. It's a wonder how we can pack so much stuff in only a few years. If I would not have spent so much money for all this 'junk', I'd already have enough money for my trip. A few years back I did not have in mind to actually be planning this trip, I dreamed about it but thought it would not be possible, so I got equipped with all this stuff that now I will probably be selling it all back for one third of it's worth, maybe less for some items, some I will surely end up giving away.
Ha ha, my apartment look like a total mess. In a way there is some sadness, but so much more excitement in all of this. This one move means a whole lot to me.
