You can't stuff 10 pounds in an 8 pound bag

By
Real Estate Agent with RETIRED 200305001

A few days ago I rented a UHUAL trailer to pull behind my truck and move my son home from college. A few years I ago I moved him there to the dorms with just a pickup load.

Fast forward a few years and a couple of apartments later, he had accumulated more crap "stuff" than I thought. I found out it was less exspensive to pull a trailer round trip that pick one up there in his town one way,(18.95 vs 141,00).

You can imagine my surprise as I rounded the corner and the mountain of boxes waiting out front and that didn't even count the furniture. As we looked at the 8 pond bag, some hard choices had to be made about which "crap goes and what stays. The real question is, Where did this all come from????

Amaziing how quickly we can accumulate "crap" Rob.....I'm sure the choice of what to eliminate was difficult, but I doubt if it will be missed in the long run.

Rob - I have that same problem here. I think "Crap" multiplies when you turn off the lights!

We all seem to have too much stuff!  I was thinking that with all of the good food on the 4th, that I was trying to stuff too much food into me!

We make it easy. You make it home.

Funny post, and I can relate. Hope you at least got the 'good' stuff home. One son is coming home from college next month and another is going. I'm trying to figure out how to get my son to college next month in a Kia Optima.
