owning a home where the yard was a fraction of the size, where you don’t have extra bathrooms to clean, or leaves to fish out of the pool that no one uses! 2. Reduce Your Expenses Snow plowing, grass cutting, cleaning, window washing… If you’re not doing these jobs yourself, you’re likely running up significant bills for someone else to do them for you. Heating, cooling, providing electricity and paying taxes for extra space that goes mostly unused is a big financial drain. If the benefits of owning the bigger home or property have started to outweigh the cost value to you, it might be time to consider looking for a smaller place.
4. Release the Chains of Your “Stuff ” We live in a culture that enjoys stuff: Buying stuff, selling stuff, earning stuff, giving stuff, winning stuff. How much more stuff can we stuff into our homes?! What good are the boxes piled up that haven’t been opened in 10 years, or the heirloom furniture that sits in the basement, or the five rakes in the garage when all you need is one or two? Release the stuff, give it to others who need it and can put it to good use, and enjoy the weightlessness of letting go of this “stuff ” to create space for what is next in your life. Once you don’t need to store so much stuff, you also will no longer need the space it took up. NS
3. Gain Time and Freedom What would you do with the additional time you save from caring for the chores mentioned above? What if you could walk out your door and go on a vacation without worrying that the sidewalks won’t be shoveled or the grass won’t be cut while you’re gone? Use your newfound freedom and time to do something fun! Travel more, learn a new hobby, spend more time with loved ones...the list goes on.
