Several years ago I had a shopping problem which led to the accumulation of a large debt and a large pile of stuff. The debt is long gone but I still have a lot of the stuff. Unfortunately (although at the time I thought it was fortunate) when I was shopping I lived overseas where there was lots of great stuff for dirt cheap. The money I spent got me a much larger pile of stuff than a similar amount of money would have purchased in the States.
Every so often I comb through the stuff and find more to toss. This time was especially productive and I filled my car for Goodwill. It is hard to think of all the use I could get out of that stuff but more important is the truth that I have too much to ever use and it doesn't offset the burden of having all that stuff lying around. Yes, I could have sold a lot of it because it was nice stuff in new condition, but it would have taken so much energy to do that, energy better used to move me forward.
I feel so much better, I have less clutter, and I can better organize what I want to keep because I can actually find it. Hurrah!

I need to do that. I keep going back and forth between donating to Goodwill and having a yard sale. I think I'm just going to donate it. :) It feels awesome, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read that there's some soul cleansing effect from purging excess material belongings. Good job, K-money.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Fajar. I live in Bedono in Central Java I was in a very chronic financial issue and terminal health situation some few weeks back. After all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive, I feel there was no one who truly cares. I became so exhausted due to lack of funds to expand my business and my 2 kids aged 5 and 8 were also not good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance. One faithful morning I saw an old time friend of my late husband and I told him all I have been going through and he said the only way he could help was to direct me to a good loan officer in USA that also helped him, He explained to me on how he was financially down and how he got boosted by this loan officer ( Mr Pedro who grant him 7,000,000.00 USD loan at an affordable rate of 2% rate . He further assured me that they were the only legit loan firm he found online. He gave me their email & That was how i applied and was also granted a loan and my life changed for the good. CONTACT THE ONLY GENUINE LENDER Mr Pedro VIA Email / Whatsapp +18632310632 pedroloanss@gmail.com to resolve your financial mess.
