No need to live a life of clutter. With this economy the way it is, wouldn't it be better to have less clutter and more money in your pocket for important things? In this detailed article I'm going to give you some easy steps to clutter busting money!

1.  Sell your good unwanted items on Ebay, Craigslist.org, or a local flea market. You will need to decide where you want to sell your things! With Ebay there are listing and finial value fee's. Craigslist is totally free to list. Flea Market's are minimal money for your space.

2.  Now that you've figured out Where your going to sell your items... Figure out what your going to sell. Go through your home start one room at a time. If your not using it, haven't used it...it's time to part with it! Clutter can be very depressing!

3.  You don't really need all those Dvd Movies, or Music Cd's. If your not going to watch it daily, why keep it? If you've already seen it multiple time's do you really think your going to watch it again? Your music can be loaded onto your MP3 or ipod and then sold. These are great items that everyone loves to buy used, save's them money also.

4.  All those clothe's in the closests that you are not wearing and are not going to wear, and if you can't wear it because of size it's time to part with it! Samething for everyone in the family. You can also sell your clothing at a consignment shop, you usually do not get paid any portion until the item's sell. Be sure you know what's in the contract if you chose to sell with a consignment shop.

5.  Do your kids have huge amounts of good toy's and video games they are not playing anymore? What about good books? Time to get them sold and make some money! Game stop gives you cash or store credit for good used games if you don't want to sell them at any of the other places listed in step one.

6.  Do you have extra kitchen gadget's that your not using? Time to sell them! You'll be glad you parted with the extra's in the kitchen, this will save you time when your cooking! Plus save you money once you know exactly what you have and where it is...You wont go out and buy another duplicate item!

7.  While all those good items are getting you some cash, it's time to go through and throw away all those items that nobody else can use! Time to declutter your home! After you have let go of the clutter, you will start saving time for your family. You wont have to hunt for lost items!

8.  Now that you've de-cluttered your home and have some cash for your clutter. Decide what your going to do with all your new found cash! Will you pay your bills? Will you pay extra on a credit card?   Will you buy something nice for the family? Will you go on a mini vacation?
