6. Old electrical appliances
Next on our list of things you should sell before retirement are old electrical appliances. If you have some that you no longer use and they are collecting dust just because you are afraid to part with them, you need to hear this: they can bring you some extra cash!
If your old electrical appliances will become a burden rather than ease your retirement, why not sell them to someone in need of household appliances? Moreover, you probably already have new ones that serve better purposes.
If you have enough outdoor space, consider having a garage sale. But if you don’t, list your old electrical appliances on Craiglist or other classifieds in the area.

Loved the ideas, although I knew most to do it’s just getting it done. I do like the sites/places to go to be able to sell/trade for items that are older without holding a yard sale particularly at my senior age.
So sell your clothes, house, car. and what ever is left like collections and electronics (t.v. And stereo), so what do you do then. Live in s box
Exactly what I thought !
Of course it’s a good idea to eliminate (donate, throw away, or sell) items you no longer need in retirement, or any time, for that matter. It should be noted that personal items such as jewelry are not included in the assets that must be spent down before qualifying for Medicaid, so that’s a reason to keep them to pass on to heirs. Also, a spouse can continue to live in the house that a couple owns, even after their partner qualifies for Medicaid. However, the government can recover their expenses after the house is sold.
