How much stuff does one really need? by pickygirl72 at 1/19/2015 1:43:03 AM How much stuff does one really need? How important are materialistic things to you? How much are YOU willing to give up? I am not talking about circumstances where you HAD to give up things because of circumstances beyond your control. I am talking about the willingness to let things go when you don't have to. I am giving away most of my belonging; those things I hold on to for reasons I am finding unknown to me. The family heirlooms that have lost their meaning or knick knacks I thought I had to have or paperwork and miscellaneous things in boxes. Where does it end? The purpose of this is to better understand who I am. To find out what's really important in my life. I have hobbies, family and friends. I have loved and lost. Its time I stepped back and find out what truly matters.

articiceblue	1/19/2015 2:33:32 AM There's that old saying ( he who dies with the most toys wins ) I'm in that race. But I didn't waste my coins on knick knacks.

nachobizness	1/19/2015 3:02:40 AM I'm definitely not a hoarder. I'm sentimental mentally and don't save everything under the sun. I'd rather write what happened in a journal.

charli2858	1/19/2015 3:52:24 AM Ever since i moved to a different style house and had a rummage sale to rid myself of $1500 worth of baggage. That day i felt 2 tons lighter! Today i continue with my "no net gain" policy. If something comes in, something goes out. I have have just enough stuff, doesn't feel as heavy anymore.
ezzgoingru	1/19/2015 6:00:51 AM Wrote a similar blog like this about a month ago!! I'm all for getting rid of what I call dust collectors... like charli said it feels sooo good to get rid of things, it does feel like a "load" taken off my back when I do this!! I also like the policy (if something comes in, something goes out). Thanks for the reminder, will be donating today

adamedmondson	1/19/2015 2:56:09 PM You can have all the money material stuff but if you don't have that special someone to share them with they don't mean Jack!!!!!
pickygirl72	1/19/2015 3:23:12 PM Most of my stuff will go to goodwill or to someone who deserves it. I am not out to get money for my items. Just need to lighten my load. Although I only really have a rooms worth of stuff so it should be easy.
pickygirl72	1/26/2015 8:33:23 PM Well i am on the journey of getting rid of stuff. I am finding myself giving away stuff away more than selling it.
