Re: How to Get Rid of All Your Stuff
I just love Jan's answer. I just read it to my husband, who is the pack rat in our marriage. He keeps saying that when we sell the house and move to TV (oh happy day) he will be able to throw out stuff. Then I start pointing out things he says, "no not that, we got that when....." or "but our daughter/sons gave that to us, it would hurt her/their feelings" Our daughter and sons have said it wouldn't hurt their feelings to get rid of old stuff they gave us and I believe them. After all, the more we get rid of now the less they will have to deal with when they inherit this stuff. This is going to be fun when the time comes. But regardless we will be moving to TV so we can handle anything.
