CLEARING OUT THE CLUTTER

A good place to start is with items that hold little emotional value but take up a lot of space. The den, kitchen and closets are where we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff we might not need going forward.

Start making some decisions about:

• What to donate
• What to sell
• What to pass on to family

But before you do that, talk to a professional who can assess what has monetary value. You'll want to hire someone who can be completely objective about your possessions but also compassionate about what has meaning for you.
