Household Hints & Help

But I've still got too much stuff.

I've had some elderly family members pass on over the last decade, and helping to clean out their houses has taught me the lesson that after I'm gone, nobody is going to want my stuff. That's helped me to make the right decisions about possessions. I make regular trips to donation drop off sites and it feels pretty good to know, or at least hope, that somebody will get some use out of my things.

The toughest part is getting yourself in a realistic mindset about what the future will bring. But I have to say that there's a real feeling of freedom to getting rid of things I'm not going to use.
