Absolutely. Stuff just eats your time, storing, sorting and moving it around.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -

She's not off until Sept 2016, so we've a little bit of time ahead of us (which will fly be, I'm sure!!:eek:) I really feel for students nowadays with regards to finances. (and let's not get started on the fees inequality between England & Wales.... (although I've heard rumours that that may change)) DD is fairly switched on though - and am educating her in the ways of MSE graduallyI am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200 -

Wow, superb progress on the decluttering - and you managed to declutter another year as well :T:T:T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0"Do what others won't early in life so you can do what others can't later in life"0
