Why is clutter getting to be a major problem in our society?

We actually had some boxes of 8 tracks at one point, that tells you how old we are, lol..anyone one day about 15 years ago or so my hubs was cleaning out the garage and had a bunch of stuff out on the driveway, some guy comes by on a bicycle and says how much for the 8 tracks..hubs says how much you got, I think he gave him a $5...good riddance and dinner at McDonalds..lol..

I just know I am tired of 'stuff'..and I don't want our kids to have to clean all this stuff out..they won't want 90% of what we have, just the tools and maybe some kitchen things..so get rid of it now.

Good luck, its a matter of saying I am tired of looking at those cases and then you will be able to release them..

I donated 8 tracts etc. to the Salvation Army and yes, they were sold. My biggest accomplished donation this year, cleaning out the master b/d closet I had a heavy long hooded black coat that was in perfect condition but 10 yrs old and I hadn't wore it for 2. We took it to the SA and sure enough 3 days later we were in the teens and bitter winds and ice. A couple of days later when I brought some more donations I noticed that the coat was gone and it brought a smile to my face. It is very true, one man's trash----

So thats great Kelsie..someone was happy to have your coat..I have a few lighterweight coats here that I need to donate, too small..We don't normally get severely cold weather here and I'm sure they could be put to good use. It's just getting it done..
