Default Do you ever think you got too much stuff

I do now.

I lived in Alabama and Florida up until a little over a year ago. I had a lakeside home both places and both places required lots of upkeep. I also had my mothers home to keep up. My mother passed and sold my home and hers in Alabama.

Things were getting simpler.

I have always had my vette which can keep me busy. I am behind schedule fixing the power steering. About two years ago, We bought my wife a Chevy SSR. My wife has a car and I have a 2004 truck. I also have a 1974 ford f100 that needs work.

I bought a small motorhome and we camp a lot.

We bought 3 acres near me and built a 75 x 18 rv garage/storage/screened patio that is attached to a large two car garage and a large winemaking room.

I have a pontoon boat needing to be put back in the lake.

Finally, I have a zero turn mower for that lot and half interest in another commercial zero turn. Seems liike I am buying a battery every two months.

I will be 74 soon and I cannot keep up. I get some labor help often but I don't have things anywhere it needs to be.

I think I am over my head on stuff but I don't want to get rid of any of it at this time.

Anybody else get that feeling.

Yep. I'm paring down several classic vehicles, an antique jukebox I hardly listen to anymore, and several other things.

I'd like to trade in my RV for something newer that would be better suited for several months of travel while my parents are still fairly independent.

I bought my 2005 Class C (30 foot) about two years ago and it only had 3,350 miles on it. I paid $25,000 for it so I won't lose my shirt when I sell it. However, it has no slides. They are damn hard to maintain.
