Although I am about to become homeless and unemployed that doesn't bother me and I am not stressed about about it. I am a little worried if I have enough money or not but, as soon as you realize you have no income you realize you need to change how you eat and what you do. I have a feeling that when I start to travel I will be more cautious and will ask things like do I really need to spend money on this?
So what exactly is causing stress for me.......kijiji (online classified ads). I know some people love it and swear by it but honestly it is a huge waste of time and pain for me right now. Lots of people on kijiji are pure bargain hunters that what to get items that are new for very little money. Whatever I get for what I am selling will help but when you post an ad for an item for 400 and people offer you things like 200 it is a bit of a piss off. I had one person look at some items and said they would take a pass as they "were in rough shape" I would hardly call a scratch "rough shape". I think these same people are the ones who post complaints on tripadvisor as they saw a scratch in a pool or a chip on their bed.
I would rather donate my stuff then have to deal with cheap people. If you want to pay 25 or 50 dollars for a dresser then go buy a brand new one from Walmart.
My apologies for the above venting! For the most part I think if you are getting ready to leave like I am and don't want the hassle of selling your stuff, then just donate it to a drop in center as people there would appreciate what you have.
On the plus side I have 17 working days and I am on my way.....now if I can just gather some motivation to get my school work done :(
