Downsizing can help others as much as yourself. Selling items is great, but donations can also have a huge impact.
You've probably heard of Movember, the charitable movement that tackles men's health issues of cancer, mental health and suicide.
Men around the country, and the world, grow a moustache for the month as a conversation starter about men's health and as a fundraiser for the issues.
My mate Phil goes a bit further that most and hosts his own fund-raising cricket match. How Australian is that?
I didn't play in the match, but did donate a new match ball I had sitting in a cupboard from my playing days.
I could have sold it earlier, but I liked the fact that it would save Phil the full retail cost of a new ball. Cricket balls can be expensive ($25-$90) so the money saved means more funds raised for Movember.
It's also good to see an item serving the purpose it was made for. In the same weekend, a lead singer bought my waistcoat for his performances and a guy bought my bike from my teenage years to fix up for riding. I hadn't used either in years, so it's good to see that someone else will.
PS. If you want to donate to Movember, here is Phil's page. He's really keen to help Movember reduce the rates of male suicide.
If you've are looking to sell items online, you may want to grab a free copy of my ebook Less Clutter More Cash for tips.
