Life and Death! You Can't Take it All With You!

in #life7 years ago

So I run and Estate sales company with my folks! (Estate sales are when someone passes away or is looking to downsize they call us to sell everything in their home)

If there is one thing I have learned is that ou can't take it with you when you go. I once heard it best said "there is never a UHaul behind the hearse."

People tend to chase money in hopes of finding all the stuff they need to make their life complete, when in reality it is not the stuff that makes your life whole!

I am not saying that "money is the root of all evil" it is not! It is te love of money that is the root of all evil!

See it shouldn't be the stuff that determines your life! It should be how you use the money that should determine your life!

Material things will rust and fade away when it is all said and done. You should focus more on using what money you make to change the world!

Below is a photo of our warehouse!! Every week we empty out and fill it back up with things that people leave behind! (Hin hint! This photo shows why I love the tiny home idea! Haha)

So the question should be, what will you do with the money you make on here and throughout life?

Just some food for thought! :)

I enjoy shopping at stores like yours. I frequent them all the time down here. I'll chew on the food a little longer before I answer your question.

That's awesome man!! Yeah you can definitely find a ton of great items! I have just been in too many Hoarder homes, and have lived with family who collect everything that I became a minimalist hahaa! Tiny home nation all the way! Lol

do you sell on ebay too?

Yep!! Sure do.. youfounditfinally is our username on there!

Do you do eBay?

I buy some stuff every now and then, no selling though.

In my opinion its true what you wrote here. Most of us are too sticky to material things. Me too, but it is not the way we should follow. Thank you for your post @twofingersshort ;) btw I really like your warehouse hehe

lol!!! yeah a lot of people like the warehouse. nothing wrong with liking stuff..it is when it consumes you that i tend to get a little uneasy haha

Hehe right ;) Have a great day in Colorado my friend!! I can promise you the sun is coming again today too hehe.

Oh that's creepy. I mean, the image of all the stuff. Great points, great questions. Purging can be hard to do, but is so good. I think I'm due for another round...

Lol!! Yeah it can get over whelming! We are fortunate enough to have great people to donate to, so we get rid of it after ever sale and then refill it again. Hahaha!
