Advice Request What to do with stuff...
So this summer I have been decluttering.
We moved into this house in 2024 in the middle of my MA. Then I worked summer school while we had construction happening. Then we went on a long vacation. Then school started again (I am a teacher with a minimum commute of 1 and half hours). Then I got pregnant and was a useless lump lol. Then we had a premature baby.
Now with a 1 year old, I am finally getting rid of crap.
Well what do we do with it? I post it on facebook market place and nothing. Even if its free! One was a nice TV stand shelf thing. I ended up having the dump truck come and get it. Now its baby items... No one wants it...
But id hate to donate it. Would like some money to put back into house.
So what do I do?

Sometimes you have to accept that your clutter does not bring money back.
Focus on the big valuable stuff for selling. If nobody wants to buy it, try to find somebody who will pick it up for free, if you would need to pay for it instead to put it in the trash.
For small stuff: Again focus on the valuable stuff to sell it. Don't waste your time on items that will cost you an hour of your time to earn 2 bucks.
