Since I've recently become unemployed for the first time in the last 11 years I've been employed, I feel kind of anxious about the future and what may come of it.
While I wait for unemployment benefits to kick in, I have all ready applied for work around New England, installed a floor for a good buddy and made a quick $500, and also have gone on interviews.
However, with no assistance coming in, my bills and responsibilities need to be met.
I feel a little crazy, but selling all of my belongings (again) seems to be the quick way out. After all, it's all material junk that collects dust and hardly (if ever gets used).
Let's start with my storage room, I mean living room. With 2 love seats, a coffee table that is just TOO heavy and bulky and an old leather couch. These make great places for my dog to sleep on, but that's it.
Other than furniture, a friend of mine has been eyeing my 51" plasma tv and strand to go with it, and at $500 dollars I might just part with it. It only gets turned on at night while in bed to watch star trek.
I have even considered selling the queen sized platform bedframe I bought last year at $600 and just having my mattress on some crap from wal mart.
I plan to just keep my bed, recliner and laptop and the clothes in my closet (after i toss some out)
Any one else live minimalist and/or anti-consumerist?
