I guess I'm like everyone else here. To much STUFF. However, I have been moving to a new house. With the move, means going through everything that we own. Our garage is full, but we can still park our two cars in there (and bikes). We have given away a whole lot. As we are unpacking boxes, we are creating other piles of "donation". I'm sure after all this is finished, we could go through again and try to pair things down more.

Part of our collective problem has been we both came from another marriage where spouses died. So logic says to keep things for a bit before seperation. The good thing is that I can do this wiothout having a whole lot of emotional connection to things. However, my histioy is hard to throw away.

Ever since this recession occured, I have been on a spending diet for sure. I could not believe the numbers of people out on Black Friday. That was one day I made sure I had other things to do around the house.
