Better for you, better for those you leave behind, better for the planet. Ageing sustainably is so important.

My eyes were really opened dealing with the estate of my parents and my MIL. My parents insisted in remaining on a house that was way too big and filled to the brim with stuff. It was backbreaking and heartbreaking work to clean it out and get it ready for sale. I was painfully aware of all of the things that went straight to a dumpster. My MIL, on the other hand, sized down appropriately and after she left us, it was not a burden.
Mr FS and I downsized two years ago and we could not be happier to be living with less.
I am a big proponent of Swedish Death Cleaning.
Kudos to you..
