Three cases for 'Marie Kondo-ing' your retirement.
“The freedom on the other side of our stuff makes us truly euphoric!” That’s the phrase minimalist Amy Rutherford, 51, of Parker, Colo., uses to describe the feeling of joy she and her husband Tim, 52, now enjoy after getting rid of most of their possessions.
First, the Rutherfords sold their 6,000-square-foot home in Parker and moved into a rental townhouse they owned in the same town. The new place was less than one-third the size .“We made a purposeful choice to have less stuff,” Amy Rutherford says. The couple began by donating carloads of items to Goodwill and selling furniture on Craigslist for pennies on the dollar.
But she has been surprised once again: “With our goal in mind, it’s not as hard as I thought it would be.” Chapple also found that getting rid of certain possessions was especially difficult. “I have long been a collector of books,” she explains. “Not all of them bring me joy, to be honest, but they are important to me. In the end, getting rid of my library was more than I could do. My books had come to define me, and I couldn’t part with them.”
