[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 744886, member: 4152"] Food for thought... I have friends that moved around the same time we did. We did a garage sale, a small estate sale and donated a lot of stuff to charity. It was eye opening and hard as heck. It opened my eyes to being more careful re purchases, the need for ongoing organizing etc. No lie, I may have had 100 pairs of underwear. WTH? Anyway, my friend didn’t do any of that. She has a storage unit now. New house with a garage packed to the ceiling, a patio with multiple table and chairs that don’t match etc. Overstuffed closets and lots of stress. They were afraid they would lose money or something. They didn’t even try to get rid of the obvious stuff you don’t need. Clothes you have worn in five years. Furniture stuck in the garage for a decade! Why? This is a waste of space and in the end, a burden. Now, they are starting off with this huge burden. But she is determined to get rid of it. I have mixed feelings about it, but she is using our house as an example for him. It is soooo freeing to get rid of the clutter. The house tends to look prettier and your mind tends to be more fresh/sharper as well. [/QUOTE]
