How to sell everything you own and de-clutter your life

So, we are moving soon, and moving really far. After many debates and lots of research, Scott and I came to the conclusion that it would not be worth spending the 3000+ dollars to move our stuff across the country. Not worth the cost of moving (most could be replaced for less than moving it) as well as not worth the hassle (we hate moving).
I had a hard time originally with this idea. I didn't realize how attached to stuff I really am. And dumb stuff too, like a $5 vase and chair that could easily be replaced, were some of the hardest things for me to let go. Even Ikea furniture that would most likely not survive a move and did not cost us much to start with was hard for me to give up because it was MY stuff, MY memories. The first couch we bought together when we were newly weds that had felt like such a big decision (haha wow, we've come a long way), the frames I hunted for all across the city to find the best deal, the rug and furniture from my first bridal show, my kitchen stuff... oh the list goes on.
There is however a light at the end of the tunnel. I have sold many things already and it is actually really fun! I know that when I get to Wisconsin what I brought with me will have a purpose or I absolutely love/use it. Do you know how great that is? It's more than great, its cathartic. What do you have in your house/garage/closet that you have forgotten about or not used in the last 6 months or year? I was amazed at how much "stuff" we have collected in the last 5 1/2 years of being married.

So, I challenge you to go through your "stuff" and see if there is anything that you don't use or are just holding onto because you might use it. I'll tell you right now, you are not going to use. If you forgot you had it, didn't use it once after you bought it, free yourself right now this clutter in your life!
