How Helping Others Brings Surprising Benefits
It is a way to spread Happiness around…..
It all started because I wanted to help some seniors recoup their money. At this juncture, they want a simple life. They want to reduce more instead of buying more. But they have a load of stuff at home.
They have spent a good part of their life savings and salaries on collecting stuff, some of which are now of cultural or historical value and not easily available on the market. They were enjoyable and entertaining to have and to hold but now they have decided to let go.
Collectible stuff would be appreciated by other younger collectors with the interest and the means to own them.
Age has caught up and they are no longer in the pink of health. Habits, likes, and interests have changed and some stuff now poses as obstacles and white elephants.
To help them dispose of the things and get back some money in return, I have used word of mouth, websites, sales apps and even troop into some shops to make an informative sale.
In the process, I found out that there are people with varied interests — some like antiques… this person likes books… that individual collects paraphernalia, and so on.
