The accumulation of
items in a home can build over the years. When you're ready to do a clean out of
your home, these 5 questions will help you decide if it's time to get rid of an
item.
Are You Paying To Store
It?
To create more space, we
sometimes choose to organize our homes by storing unused items. Now is the time
to evaluate if the rental for storing these items in a location is cost
effective. Storage rental vs. current value of an item can help you determine
if it's time to throw it out.
Is It Usable?
On occasion, we put
stuff aside that might be broken, for later repair. Often, too much time has
passed that even the part is no longer available to do the repair. But a good
guideline to go by with broken items is if you have done without it for a year,
you're less likely to miss it when thrown away.
Have You Bought Another
One?
How many times have we
gone to the grocery store and bought eggs only to notice we already had eggs?
The same can happen with household items. Also, with technology moving so fast,
that TV or computer needs updating more than we like. This is the perfect time
to eliminate any extras you might have, making for a simple clear out.
What Condition Is It In?
Even if it's not broken,
condition can be a factor in determining worth. Has it lost all value to where
you can't even resell? Maybe the condition of the item is even dangerous. Does
it have a loose or damaged cord? It might still work, but it's safer to rid all
items that may be unsafe.
Do You Remember Why You
Have It?
It happens, we come
across something stowed away in a garage, closet, attic, or even a drawer and
not know what it does or why we even have it. If it has been out of sight and
you don't know its purpose, when you come across it while clearing out stuff,
it should go.
