HOW TO DOWNSIZE WHEN MOVING TO FLORIDA

By Living Free Forever - Melody & Ric Schafer

Downsizing or minimizing our worldly belongings is a very important step when moving...especially when moving out of state. The more one has to move and the further one is moving from one's present location, the more it will cost to move in many ways. Of course the more there is to move, the more stress that will be involved with that move.

I am sure we would all love to make our moves the least stressful and the least costly as possible.
Check out this book on our Amazon affiliate store The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondō http://amzn.to/2Dm8km or find her videos on YouTube. Very helpful when trying to declutter or downsize. 

I believe this book will help you get a great start in downsizing so you can make your move to Florida or any other location.

Moving Out Of State CATCH 22 !!

By Living Free Forever - Melody & Ric Schafer

In this video I talk about moving out of state, some ideas to get around the obstacles of finding a job or finding and apartment when moving out of state.

Moving in general is a stressful event, so being prepared and armed with information is a good idea before setting out to your new home or location...especially when it is out of state or out of the country. Watch YouTube videos, read books, articles, talk to people and whatever else you can do to help prepare yourself for your big move. The more you do the better you will feel about your move.

Get Rid Of ALL Your Stuff BEFORE Moving!!!

By Melody Schafer - YouTube Vlogger Subscribe http://LivingFreeForever.com

No matter if you plan on studying abroad, traveling the world, or just moving to another state....downsizing should be one of your first steps. Decluttering and getting rid of most of your stuff will make your life so much easier for the next stage you have planned in your life.

The more you travel or the more you move, the more you will see that all that STUFF is just getting in your way and not as important as you once thought it was. You either have to pack it, store it and also have to PAY to have it moved and/or stored. It's just not worth having STUFF.

I can see why minimalism or becoming a minimalist is becoming so trendy these days. Younger people see how their parents are bogged down but STUFF and are afraid to travel or move because it is just too much work to even think about because what will they do with all their belongings? Many younger people are thinking ahead and want to live "light" so they can have more freedom to do what they want, such as travel.

This video gives you a little insight on my thoughts on this topic. Free yourself! Declutter! Downsize! Minimalize!

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! Planning Stages

By Melody Schafer http://LivingFreeForever.com

Ric & I are YouTube vloggers, own our own business, homeschool our son while our daughter attends college.

We believe in following our dreams and goals. We enjoyed living in the country in Ohio for 10 years then we decided to downsize and move to Florida for a little sunshine. We have now been here in Southwest Florida in Sarasota County for 7 years and ready for our next adventure. We have absolutely LOVED Florida and we may be back one day.

What is this next adventure? Downsize MORE! and travel the world carrying only one carry-on each. Where we will end up? We are not exactly sure. We do have family in Spain so that will be one of our destinations. We are going with the flow or "Swaying With The Palm Trees" as my father used to say.

We believe in living life to the fullest and when our time is up in this world we don't want any regrets.

Watch this video for full details of our plans. We will be vlogging our planning stages along with our travels. We would love to have you join us on our journey on YouTube Channel at http://LivingFreeForever.com
