It's linked in my mind too Over the last 5 years or so, I've decluttered lots of things. I think it's linked to freeing oneself from the shackles of the past, and moving forward lightly and with freedom. That's how it seems to me, anyway! :rotfl:

That is prettily said Goldie.

There is some logic to it...

if I get sacked and have to sell my house it will be easier

I feel like my house is bigger

I can see what I have got so can avoid buying a second *whatever* because I can find the first.

Totally what you just wrote, Alchemilla - houses really are bigger when they have less stuff in them and then we don't need that amount of space because we have less stuff and if I have to rent storage space so I can rent my house out, I can rent a smaller space. Or I might be able to declutter so much that I can just put my stuff in the brick shed in the garden (after its renovated) and not have to rent out any space at all :j

Sorry, that was a bit breathless :rotfl: but I'm thinking about this a *lot*!

Loving the leaves and disguised dragons too

Alchemilla

Hello,

I share your obsession, Alchemilla. Somehow I think that having less junk is more thrifty and therefore I will be able to retire earlier. It makes absolutely no sense but I continue to link the two things. Obviously, buying less stuff will help, but once you have already bought something, decluttering it won't help me retire earlier!

Decluttering via [EMAIL="eb@y"]eb@y[/EMAIL] or fbook = OP money = working towards retirement :D
