Our lives are changing: we have a son half way through college. I've been at home for the last 20 years raising our son but returned to nursing school, which I will finish up in December. I have a job I love that will hopefully will move to a promotion and fully time once school is done.

Sometimes you have to move on from one thing to get something else you are shooting for. I see letting go of some of the cars as a way of shifting focus.

In the end, they are just things. Most important to me, spending my time with my husband, enjoying our empty nest time together in whatever comes next.

Sure sounds like very healthy reasoning to me...
