George Carlin And The New Retirement Minimalism: Stuff !

It is finally spring. Among the rituals of spring is spring-cleaning.

Comedian and colorful social observer George Carlin described a house as "just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.” Spring-cleaning is an opportunity to sort that stuff — making the option of downsizing possible, aging-in-place easier, or simply helping family members make sense out of all that “stuff” you have accumulated for decades.

Over an adult lifetime you collect your stuff, family stuff and legal stuff. Here are some ideas on what to do with it.
Enjoy,
Ted
