All my life for sale

After reading "all my life for sale" I felt a feeling of dejan vu. I could actually relate to this story because my mom likes to keep everything we ever get or anything anyone else ever gets in our family. I mean we have a garage sale every year but she still likes to keep most of everything. Her reason behind this is that if we throw something away or sell something we might regret it because we might need it in the future sometime for some random thing. She is also all about saving money also so keeping everything will prevent us from buying the same thing twice. Back to the story, I thought it was really cool how John Freyer would sell all his stuff and go place to place meeting new people. I would love to do that and meet the people who like the stuff you like, wanting to buy your stuff. In my opinion this guy is pretty inspiring. He went from running out of money and keeping everything he owns ever to becoming a guy who sells his stuff for money and then going on to traveling around the country to sell his items to people and meeting them in person. I thought it was sweet how he got to see the kind of people buying his stuff and maybe even see how they will use the stuff he sells. I think that would be very interesting. I really did like this story but I will never ever keep everything i own. I like to have things cleaned and organized with only necessities.

  1. Interesting take - do you think Deja Vu is more tied to experiences or material things?
