8. CDs and DVDs
Last but not least on our list of things you should sell before retirement are CDs and DVDs. Now’s the time to sell those you’ve accumulated since they were released. Moreover, if you’re lucky, some songs on your CDs may still be popular, which can mean you can find fans that are willing to pay a price for them.
With the bit of money you can make via an online auction, you can fill a gap in your retirement funds, especially if you travel often.
You probably don’t even realize how many CDs and DVDs you’ve accumulated over the years, but the fact is that they take up space. Why keep them when you can sell them? There’s a site called CD Baby where you can sell your CDs online. As far as your DVDs go, consider trading them on eBay for other things.

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.
