Too small, need more space

I decide against the 300 sq. ft. apartment.  It was cute, I went to look at it and really liked it.  The fact that it had windows on the south and west walls was awesome!  Unfortunately, it just seemed like it wouldn't be enough room for me...and my stuff.  

My mom mentioned that when I move out, she'll need the extra room I'm using to be emptied to rent it out.  That means I need to find a place that is much larger.  A few days ago I looked at a basement apartment that was approximately 600 sq. ft. and even that seemed small!  Maybe it would be possible, but it would be tight.

I'm thinking I need something more along the lines of 800-900 sq. ft. so I can run my eBay business out of it.  Either that or work really hard at selling the massive amount of stuff I have now so I don't have so much to move.  That would probably be best.  Unfortunately, by doing that, I will be living here longer, but on the upside, I won't have so much stuff!

School starts soon and I'll have less time to do these things.  *Sigh*

Progress

It has been a slow process, but there is progress. I has to temporarily give up on cleaning my stuff out of the basement and have been focusing on my bedroom.  The house in which I live is a bad environment for me.  I know I'm long overdue of moving out, and I'm actively searching for my own place.  Since I won't have as much extra space for storage, what I own needs to become less. 

I don't think anyone reads my nearly abandoned blog, but I still wonder how many square feet people live in.  My bedroom with closet is approximately 168 sq ft. My bathroom is small, but attached to the room. Yes, I have taken over a separate room for my workshop, and this will stay there. Unless I find an 800-900 sq ft place, I won't have room.  If I take the cute 300 sq ft place from a local ad, I have lots more work to do!!

Things have been given away to friends, donated, thrown in the trash, and listed for sale on eBay.  Surprisingly, some of these items have even sold!  I'm not making tons of money, that's ok though, the space is more important.  I've been working on letting go of the price I paid for things, otherwise I will hold on to them forever. 

The key is to have what you love, and love what you have.  I'm working on it.
