DrunkMonkey 0 #1 January 24, 2005 I need to simplify going into "My Life: v2.0." I have basically a whole house worth of stuff. What things can one cut away and still life a comfortable life? I've already ripped all my CDs to my PC, and packed away the discs to my parents' house. How does one effectively simplify? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime I clean out my room (seeing as how that's all I really have), I end throwing out four bags of trash, and donating four trash bags worth of stuff to Goodwill.

turtlespeed 226 #4 January 24, 2005 Start a list of Absolute needs(food, water, clothing etc), Semi-Needs, wants, and luxuries. Braek everything down that way - it works as a budget tool as well.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say more like 3-4 months, as long as its not a seasonal type of deal. I just "simplified" yesterday and let me tell you, it feels GREAT! Its amazing how much crap we collect thinking, Yeah, I'll have a use for that but it costs you more to store it while waiting for said item to break, just so you can repair it for free. Anything that is not a necessity, pitch it, or you'll never decrease the size of your footprint.________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.
