Treasure Or Trash?

If you don’t love it, use it, or need it, then it should go.  It’s as simple as that.

And yet, a surprising number of people will respond: “But it’s going to be worth something someday!”

Are you saving anything because you believe it will increase in value? Old hockey cards, a not-quite-vintage lamp, a set of mass-produced mail-order Norman Rockwell plates? We’ve all heard urban myths about attic treasures, but unless you’re in possession of a genuine antique or rare collectible that you’ve had appraised by a professional, chances are that whatever you’re storing wouldn’t even get ten dollars at a garage sale, now or twenty years from now.

Ask yourself this: if you had to pay to store this thing (rental storage space starts at around $35 a month for the smallest available locker), would you do it? Would you gamble a monthly rental fee against the thing’s eventual worth? Because when you store something that you don’t love, use, or need in your own closet or garage, you’re still gambling—only with current storage space and peace of mind instead of money.

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
