If you were so broke that you had to sell everything... what would you keep, no matter what?

For me it would be the teddy bear I got when I was born that I still have to this day. It’s a little ratty and beat up, but that bear holds a lot of memories for me. What would you hang onto?

Baby pictures, things Hubbs has made for me and my weighted blanket.
My dignity… and possibly one of my guitars.
My dogs and my truck and my great grandmothers ring.
I have a replica of the Maltese Falcon, which was a gift from my Mom.
It means everything to me. It’s the stuff dreams are made of.
I would keep my kidneys. I could deal with selling objects and machines, but I want to hang on to my bodily organs.
It’s trite but my photo albums are very dear to my heart.
My camera, snowboard and coffee maker.
A sturdy pair of knickers.
A lot of things people are just not going to buy. The only object of any value that I would save would be my wedding ring.
My shoes and various pieces of clothing. I think in terms of decency, I’d like to keep those.
I’d be a hobo, just not a naked hobo.
I would keep my photos and maps. It would be really tough to part with my backpacking gear, bike, camera, laptop and a few records & books, but I could do so if necessary. The rest I could easily part with without thinking twice.
my girlfriend i don’t think i could sell her
But materialistic, a necklace she gave me that means the world.
Integrity, pride, self-respect, honesty… yeah, and at least one of my kidneys (thanks, @VohuManah).
Aside from the obvious things a homeless person would need (some clothes, cash for food, soap, a blanket and such…) I would have to keep the tote I have been adding to over the years with sentimental things and photo albums. Also birth certificates, wedding certificate and SS card.
Probably my car – since it would provide me, my son and 2 dogs shelter – and hopefully get us the hell out of dodge. As far as I know, shelters that accept pets are nonexistent.
my laptop so I could make it all back :)
My Laptop, my router, my NAS 1 GB drive and my guitar
My dogs and my motor scooter!
my sense of self, everything else can be replaced.
A smile – that goes a long way no matter what you have (or don’t have) in your wallet.
