How I did it: I hated living next door to my in-laws and my husband and I are divorcing, so I found an apartment. I leased it for 6 months. I want to move out of this town but I will wait until I am done getting my little associate's degree to transfer to a university out of this town.

Lessons & tips: Down-sizing is not easy, especially when you're used to having a big kitchen. Go through belongings and throw away old things. Also, if you have personal things that you don't want people to see, pack that stuff in a box before any friends/relatives come to help you move.
