Decluttering can pay off. Here's how I got my family to part with the things they no longer use and pad our gift fund.
Briefly

The article discusses a family’s clever strategy to manage clutter by selling unwanted items through social media platforms. By creating a family gift fund with the earnings, children were motivated to part with their belongings, transforming the decluttering process into a fun challenge. They achieved success by maintaining high seller ratings and quickly responding to potential buyers. Additionally, the family participates in a 'buy nothing' initiative by freely giving away items in fair condition, reinforcing a spirit of sharing while promoting a clean home environment.
We now list our unwanted items on social media and use the money to pad our family gift fund.

Even when we can't make a buck off an item, my kids are now in cleaning-out mode.
