I moved recently, and I got rid of a lot of thing I didn't need anymore. My new mantra is if I don't use it in less than 3-6 months, I don't need it. So I sell it, or donate it.

I'm also using the boxes method, I moved as well so if I don't take it out from the box I'll leave it there and then do what you suggested.

I rather buy memories than stuff. LOL
