Stuff. Oh, I have a lot of it. What I find most frustrating about some of my stuff is its ability to hide the stuff I want to find. I need to find an item. I know I have it. But there is all this stuff in front of, or on top of what I am looking for, wherever that is. And as you try to chip away at the daunting task of cleaning it all out there is more stuff coming in all the time.

We all have stuff. I like to have 2 of everything. Most of my stuff is not new. I can't afford new in almost any of it. I don't like to trade my stuff but I could do that. Most of it is from yard sales and resale shops. Out of 3 computers only one of them is new.
When I want to get rid of stuff I take it to some of these same shops I buy stuff from. They sell it to somebody else and the money made on all this goes to help poor people.
My latest example of stuff is that I needed a digital alarm clock for the spare bedroom. You can get a new one at Dollar General for $8 but I got a used one at resale for $3 and saved myself $5 bucks.

Stuff is nice, stuff is fun, stuff weights you down if you want to run.
(? musician, I can't help it)
But yeah, best thing that ever happened to me was having to leave a bad situation with whatever I could carry in my car. Bye bye stuff... then stick to not re-upping.
. Inherited stuff, just get rid of it - donate, sell - someone along the line will do it might as well be you.

I suffer from two problems:

1. "I have no use for that, but it's too good to throw away." A lot of stuff that I keep, I do so because it just seems too good to bin. I suppose charity shops are good for stuff like this. I just can't bring myself to send it to landfill. I have things in this collection that are still brand new in box, albeit having been purchased years ago.
2. "The moment I throw that out, I'll need it." This, I think, stems from spending many years broke: never throw out something that might save you having to buy that thing again in the future. Of course if you hoard too much stuff in random junk boxes, you don't stand a cat in hell's chance of finding the thing when you need it, so you end up buying a new one anyway.

A couple of times, I've tried to get into the mindset of "If I were moving house, would I bring this or bin it?" But I still don't seem able to dump a lot of the stuff I don't need.

I pay to store my stuff. I go visit that stuff on occasion. Sometimes I add more stuff. I’ve even sold off some of the valuable stuff. The boxes of stuff are piled up high and I’ve forgotten what stuff I have in those boxes. But it’s my stuff that was once in my house and I keep hoping one day soon I won’t have to store it anymore.

[nbcnews.com] Good article about getting rid of your stuff before your kids have to.

All my stuff could fit inside a station wagon (remember those?) with room to spare and it's too much!

I follow the advice in the book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing," by Marie Kondo.

You gather all the items of one kind from all over the house-such as all the scissors or all your shoes, and put them in piles of the same items. Pick up each item and if it doesn't give you joy, give it away. Only keep a few from each category, as needed.

It's irrelevent if things were gifts or expensive, just rehome them to a Goodwill store so the items can continue to have a happy, useful life.

Once you get your house cleaned out that way, you'll never allow it become cluttered again, because you'll feel impatient with useless items that don't bring joy.

I don't know. why do you?

Good will

We came alone and we will leave alone we do not bring with us anything and we will not takeaway anything instead of holding on live in the present and enjoy the expereincand memory rather than holding on material things
