do you give something you don't use anymore? / myLot

July 30, 2019 11:34pm CST

i know some people who cannot let go of the things they don't use anymore. i dont do this. it's either i throw or give it to someone who wants it. i dont like things to be hanging around with no purpose at all anymore. this morning, a friend of mine came over for the phone i promised to give. i have a new phone so the old one is given to her so that she can use it. do you also do the same?

If I'm sure I won't need something again, I'll try to find a home for it.

@Janet357 You can end up with far too many gadgets and items if you keep everything.

Yes, but not phones. I keep the old phones. Only used clothes are given away.

You were nice, giving that phone to your friend. I've been giving away a lot cause in a few years I will probably move.

Before my relatives and myself moved from our neighborhood, we did away items that we did not need to them or we gave it away to the local second hand store.

Yeah, I also do the same. It's better to give while it's still useful for others.

I prefer to give away the things which are not using at home. Some one get the advantage with the same.

I was a bit possessive before and would hold on to my old stuff. But of late I am trying to give away all things that are just lying around and not being used.
