Two arcade machines
One pinball machine
Surround System
Hundreds of dvds
And loads of crap stashed away in the closets

(I almost grasp for air looking at that picture)

One day I came to the conclusion that I don't need that stuff. So I started to sell everything I didn't need.

This is what my home looks like today. Pretty much everything serves a purpose and I feel a lot better without all that stuff.

For all the money I got I bought a bigger bed (Love it!)


I still enjoy playing some Xbox occasionally so I kept it with just the one game I play. Without the Xbox my TV would not have served a purpose so I would have sold it too


My coffee corner and the glass cabinet that contains some stuff that I really enjoy.


Closer look on the cabinet. I like whisky so I've got some glasses. Thinking of selling the ones in the middle because I really don't need 8 glasses.


Other than that I pretty much only own clothes, books and some random stuff in the closets that I don't need but I haven't found any buyers or people I can give them away to.

People ask me all the time why I got rid of everything. All I say is that I didn't need it. They usually think I'm crazy but I just love it!
I really enjoy the stuff I have and the new things that I buy because now I only buy things that serve a purpose.

All the furniture is from IKEA btw!

I hope some of you people have made the same change and are willing to share you experience.
well rather than throwing the old things away you can re sell to get some money...in singapore we have cash converter shops
