EVERYTHING MUST GO!


I don't know if you have heard about this yet but there is this man in Australia selling EVERYTHING he owns. His name is Ian Usher, a British man that moved to Australia about 5 years ago. This guy had it made! Rich as hell (i'd say) and an amazing life. UNTIL-here's the thing that made him want to sell all his stuff- his wife and he split up.
Now i have heard of people crying for months and eating ice cream non stop but selling everything they own? no, that one has never come up.
Well this guy is setting a precedent by literally selling everything he owns on the notorious eBay!Some things that I wouldn't of expected would have to be his job,his house,car, his dog, and even his fiends.
Now what I wanna know is does his friends have a say in it? I know that if I just bought some friends on eBay, and they didn't come through and be my friend, id be pretty pissed.
I guess this guy really wants to just start over. This is a quote from Ian

"On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all,"

Thats crazy! He is giving up everything he owns,running the risk of failing and becoming homeless like so many others today. It's kind of exciting if you think about it. I mean, how many people would be willing to give up things like that? their TV's? Their clothes? Their games? I bet not many people will raise their hand to that one.

"My current thoughts are to then head to the airport, and ask at the flight desk where the next flight with an available seat goes to, and to get on that and see where life takes me from there," he wrote online.
Now sure, a few people in the past have done this sort of thing, but not to this extent, nor did they get this much publicity for it. I personally think it's a great thing and I wish all my luck to him.
