One chose a Hyundai over a Pantera. I was actually a bit proud of her, as the more I thought about it the sillier I felt. These "items" mainly created headaches. Going minimalist is, in my opinion, a great plan. Enjoy what really matters in life, family and friends.

Thanks- it has actually felt good already to part with so much of my “stuff”. I don’t think I’ll miss any of it - I don’t want my retirement defined by stuff I collected in the past. I’m hanging on to my stamp collection (will be joining the Villages stamp club), but I want a very stream lined and uncluttered house (more aesthetically pleasing, and way easier upkeep). I’m thinking of hanging onto my car for now, great advice in this current market.
