Although I am not a child of "The Great Depression," my parents were. So I was used to watching them scrimp and save, and do all their shopping at discount and bargain stores. I also remember how my father would save everything, because who knows when he might need it again. When he died, I spent weeks cleaning out his attic, storage shed, garage and workshop, which was a treasure trove of ... junk. Why buy just one item when its on sale when you could buy two or three and let them rust for the next decade?
Unfortunately, cluttering and hoarding is hereditary (as I've found out). As much as I try to get myself organized, there always seems to be more crap coming in than going out.
I really need to conquer the clutter so I can get on with my life. Is there a 12-step program for Clutterholics?
