you know what I love …. I have saved a few bits and bobs from my childhood … and now my lads are playing with them and wearing them out !! This is a great way to declutter.

Also ebay is a huge bonus for the declutter bug – I have moved things on from my childhood and some even from my mum’s childhood thru ebay. The sense that things have gone to a new owner to be appreciated and loved all over again is just fab – cheers le

Good advice and nice story. We have been decluttering our house for years now. It’s been a long and slow process (and sometimes a little difficult) but well worth it. We got tired of the draining effect of looking at piles of stuff we knew we really didn’t need was our motivation. But getting some money at garage sales helped too.

The decluttering bug is definately contagious. Now that I’m almost done with my STUFF, the family whose house I live in is wanting help doing the exact same thing with all their accumulated STUFF. Luckily, having moved a mere 3 years ago, there isn’t so much as to require a storage unit, it’s all ‘in-house’…literally. In the garage, the basement shop, the closets, the upstairs ‘nook’, etc…etc…etc…ad nauseum.

First up, this weekend we tackle and hopefully finish the garage…

I sure hope so Enrique! That sounds like a nice cash flow business to get into!

Maybe you’ve “infected” your family with the decluttering bug. I had an uncle who couldn’t pass up a free bargain. He would wander the streets in his neighborhood, and bring home all kinds of half-broken things, much to my aunt’s chagrin. After he passed away, my cousin cleaned all of this accumulated junk out of the garage, which they now rent out to a guy with an antique car. Their decluttering exercise ended up generating a monthly cash flow!
