Looking to scale down and save up in retirement? You have options.

This is especially true if you have certain items you don’t need. As mentioned in this article by Yahoo and Go Banking Rates, you can sell unwanted belongings to pad your finances. This is especially helpful if you’re living solely off Social Security.

Do you really need a second car? If your nest is empty, could you live in a smaller house? Have those antiques and collections you saved up over the years lost the interest you once had in them? All of these are potential financial goldmines to the right buyer, and they can help make your retirement more stable.
