Look around your home. How many things do you own that you have not touched in 6 months? A camera, a bicycle, camping gear, that guitar from your I am going to learn music phase?
The 4 Options
1. Sell It
Quick cash, but it is gone forever. If you might need it again, selling is permanent.
2. Donate It
Good karma. But zero financial return.
3. Store It
The default. It sits there, depreciating, taking up space, making zero money.
4. Rent It Out
Keep ownership, earn income, and help someone who needs it temporarily. This is the sweet spot.
