Chuck or Cherish (Quiz)
As we get older, we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff, no matter how diligent we are when it comes to shopping or how minimalist we think ourselves to be. Unfortunately though, we often don’t realise just how much stuff we’ve amassed until it’s time to move out, and then we’re left with a dilemma: chuck or cherish?
You see, knowing what to do with our old stuff really is a skill in itself. Do we keep it as is? Keep it and repurpose it? Do we sell? Chuck it? Give it away? There are many different routes, but not everyone has the wisdom to know which one to take in any given situation, which brings us to this quiz. We’re going to provide you with a bunch of different chuck or cherish scenarios, and it’s your job to decide the fate of the items.
It’s time to move out. You lift the hatch of the attic away and gingerly poke your head through, and there it is: a huge heap of your old belongings. It’s time to start sorting it.
An old toaster. The lever is broken and it won’t turn on. What do you do?
