A few years back my wife’s parents passed, and the time came to sell their house. The house was nice and had nice furniture. When the house sold a lot of their belongings ended up on the street for anyone to carry off. Even though there were children and grandchildren, no one had room for most of her parents’ stuff. A number of pieces of furniture were put into use by family members, but so much went out the door to parts unknown.
Chances are you have an attic, basement, garage or closets filled with stuff. Stuff can be clothes, furniture, collections, memorabilia and more. Where will all this stuff end up? Most likely it will be hauled to a garbage dump or possibly to some non-profit who will make it very profitable.
When a non-profit sells your old sofa, table or clothes they come out pretty good because they have nothing invested in except for some labor and building costs. That makes it very profitable for them. I am not knocking any non-profits because some do some great charitable work. Some pay their Chief Executive Officers big salaries. You have to make choices as to where you donate.
