I've switched my mindset a couple of years ago that I don't need to buy something even if it's a great deal if I don't need it. Even if it's free...if I don't need it what's the point.

This happened to me. I think it’s a trauma response and having too much stuff makes us anxious

I think there has to be a balance. People should have books. And board games to play. But I agree clutter that has no value but sentiment is just gonna end up in a landfill no one wants it in the end

I’m the opposite, my mom died when I was 22 and I loved going through her stuff. It was healing for me to just set aside a day or two and just +

My mom had kept SO much of my school work & art as a child. While it was sooo sweet, it wasn’t getting me into Harvard 😂 to the trash it went

This is why I believe in decluttering often!! It's a reminder of how much you don't need a bunch of things :)

Same thing happened to me. Same experience, can confirm. Plus it makes the little things you have more special.

I’ve never had a stable place to live until now but I refuse to buy “junk” (things that I don’t think are necessary) because I will move again

1) my grandparents died within 3 months of each other a couple years ago. grandma never worked & never learned to drive so she would just sit at home

I disagree because it’s you should live for you and have a lot of things if that makes you happy not just not do it bc you’re worried about leaving it for someone else?

same thinking as you, my widowed mum suffered a stroke when I was 21, and it came with the financial and housing difficulties that caused me to move home a lot 💔
