I have a lot of stuff including a garage full of things that roommates left behind when they moved out. I'm working on getting rid of it including donating clothes that I haven't worn in years.

I didn't realize how much stuff we accumulated living with my Mil, until we started unpacking in our new home.

No only because I already decluttered with our move 1.5 yrs ago. I've tried to maintain it and so far so good!

I used to but when the pandemic hit, I got the sudden energy to tackle it. Hired a dumpster and no regrets!

We recently downsized, I sent many of my most beloved items, collected starting at age 19 to auction; it was time, I'm 73. I still have more decorative items than most, I only regret donating my beloved books!

I only buy what I need. I personally find it useless to buy things to keep up with the Jones. I also get rid of things that are either broken or over used.

I just went through all my belongings and got rid of lots of things. I had a "keep" pile, "donate" pile and "sell" pile. I'm good.
