Many of us grow up dreaming about the big, beautiful home we are going to have with our spouse and future children. We drive through neighborhoods in our hometowns thinking about what our ideal home would look like and fantasize about each family member having their own bathroom!

However, there comes a point in time where we reconsider what we truly want. Is a big home really what we still want later in life? It is normal to think maybe it is time to downsize once all the kids are grown, but it is also hard to let go of the house we have a sentimental attachment to and where sweet memories were created.

Though it can be emotionally confusing, downsizing may be a great decision for you. Sage Organizing Co. is here to give you a few ways to know if downsizing is right for you.

1. You're struggling to keep up with the maintenance and necessary repairs

        485, 5 star, AARP, Administrator, Administrator, After, Aging, Alzheimer's, Angies List, Arboretum, Assist, Aunt, Award, BBB, Bedroom, Belmont, Best, Better Business Bureau, Bonded, Box up, Boxes, Brother, Burden, Buying, Calm, Caring, Carolina Organizers, CD, Certified, Charge, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Cheap, Cheap, Chore, Christian, Chronic Disorganization, Chronic, Class, Clean out, Clean, Cleaning, Clearing, Closet, Coach, Company, Compulsive, Concord, Confidential, Confidential, Containers, Cost, Cousin, Dad, Dad, Daughter, Dead, Death, Death, Deceased, Deceased, Dementia, Died, Disaster, Discount, Discreet, Disorder, Disorganized, Dispose, DIY, Do it Yourself, Drop Zone, Edit, Elderly, Elderly, Estate, Estimate, Evaluation, Executor, Executor, Executrix, Expert, Fair, Faithful Organizers, Family Meeting, Family, Family, Father, Favorite, Five star, Fort Mill, Free Resources, Friendly, Full Service, Garage, Gaston, Gastonia, Greater, HD, Help, Help, Help, Hoarder, Hoarder, Hoarding, Hoarding, Hoarding, Hoarding, Home, Honest, Honest, Horrible, Hourly, House, How  start, How to do, How to, How, Huntersville, Indian Trial, Inexpensive, Inexpensive, Insured, Interior, Items, Jewish, Job site, Job, Job, Joy, Judgement free, Kitchen, Kondo, Kosher, Lancaster, Late, Laundry room, Legal, Linen Closet, Liquidation, Living Room, Loved One, Low cost, Luxury, Luxury, Marie Kondo, Marie, Master Bedroom, Matthews, Mecklenburg, Messy, Metro, Mom, Mom, Money, Mother, Move, Moving, Much, Mudroom, NAPO, NASMM, Need Help, Neutral Party, Neutral, Nightmare, No judgement, North Carolina, North Carolina, OCD, Old, Organization, Organize, Organizer, Organizer, Out, Over 60, Overload, Overwhelming, Pack-rat, Pack, Package, Packages, Packing, Pantry, Parents, Passed away, Passed on, Personal, Personal, Piedmont, Pineville, Plan, Possessions, Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, Prepare, Price, Privacy, Private, Private, Pro, Professional, Project, Public, Realtor, Reasonable, Reasonable, Relative, Reliable, Relo, Relocation, Resource, Retire, Retirement, Rock Hill, Sale, Sell, Senior Citizen, Senior, Senior, Service, Service, Shopping, Shows up, Sister, Son, South Carolina, South Charlotte, Spark, Speaker, Speaking, Specialist, Staging, Stallings, Strategy, Stuff, System, Task, Teach, Team, Train, Training, Trust, Trustworthy, Trustworthy, Uncle, Understanding, Union, University, Unorganized, Unpack, Unpacking, Uptown, Video, Waxhaw, Weddington, What to do, Where to start, Widow, Widower, Winner, Winning, York,
Whether it be financially, physically, or emotionally, if keeping up with home maintenance and repairs is difficult, it may be time for you to consider downsizing. It can be terribly frustrating when it feels like there is ALWAYS something to be fixed in your house. Right when you're done fixing and paying for one repair, another thing breaks! Not only is this frustrating but constant repairs and maintenance is time-consuming and expensive. The smaller the house you live in, the fewer things there are to break and keep up with.

2. You're planning on retiring soon and live far from family

Many people decide to downsize once they retire as this leaves more flexibility in retirement income. Additionally, it gives you more time to focus on your health and happiness.  Many people who plan on retiring soon decide on a smaller home without steps that will be hassle-free. Downsizing is also a perfect opportunity for retirees to move close to children and grandchildren who can help in the future.

3. You feel overwhelmed with all of your "stuff"

We often feel a need to fill all the empty space once we move into a big house. As time passes, "stuff" accumulates. Sometimes you look around the house and don't even realize all the things you own! Other times we prefer to live in denial and never open the forbidden cabinets that have an unknown number of items in them. Once you've truly accepted that less really is more, it may be time for you to downsize. A smaller home will force you to reduce the stuff you have and really focus on what you truly need.

4. You feel "house poor" and sacrifice dreams because of it

If housing costs are preventing you from traveling and enjoying life's luxuries, downsizing is probably a good option for you. Moving into a smaller home or even an apartment/condo/townhome requires little maintenance which makes it possible for you to travel for longer periods and have the money to do so! Even if traveling isn't your thing, downsizing frees up money that can be spent on the things you are really wanting to try.
Even if you now see that downsizing is right for you, you may be worried about the stress and complication of the process.
⠀
Not only do you have to move your things, you also have to decide what you want to keep and what you want to discard. THEN, you have to figure out the best way to discard your unwanted things.⠀
⠀
Skip the stress and call Sage! Sage Organizing Co. will help you organize your valuables, pack them, and donate your unwanted items to local charities. ♻️⠀Comment below with any questions!
