Listen "Why do we keep all this STUFF?"

Episode Synopsis

I was listening to a podcast (linked below) on decluttering the other day. There was a gal saying, "Take a hard look at things you're holding on to and ask yourself why." It made me think of all the stuff in the houses of my dad and my stepmom that has been left for me to deal with. In my dad's case, he was a collector. So, his house is full of really "good collectible stuff". In my stepmom's case, she has a shopping/buying addiction that has a deeper psychological reason. The gal on the podcast said she asked herself, "If I die tomorrow, what will happen to all this stuff?" I think it is important to take a look at our stuff. Many of us, me included, have too much of it. Why are we hanging on to it? If it is for our own enjoyment, great! But if we are hanging on to it for someone else to have some day, we likely need to give it another look. Home - Dana K. White: A Slob Comes Clean
