Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms thrift, saving or hoarding?

I grew up in a time when "things" were expensive and or difficult to source. So the natural tendency was to hoard, just in case.

I also have a tendency to keep things associated with good experiences and memories.

The result is I have far, far too much stuff.
I am now trying to declutter the parts of the house that contain my junk. This is harder than it seems.

The next BIG task is to get rid of a lot of wood in the garage, some inherited when Dad died in 2000. I will need a skip....

So, my advice is be tough with yourself. Don't keep stuff without good reason. Ask yourself two questions:
"will I ever need it" and
"can I easily buy it".

If you are uncertain about needing it and can easily replace it, then dump it.
