"To Have a Yard Sale" Goalplan Description:
 There are many great reasons for having a yard sale. Maybe you're redecorating and you're moving and there are items you just won't need at your new home. Perhaps you have children and you no longer need their clothes and toys from two years ago. It could also be that you've finally acknowledged the fact that you truly are a "packrat" and have been holding onto many items you just don't need. No matter what your reason, having a yard sale is a relatively easy goal to achieve-requiring very few hours of preparation along with a few hours of sitting outside and collecting money-that can be accomplished within two weeks.
