I have spent the last several years decluttering our house. We have come a long way but still have lots of room for improvement. It is amazing to me how much "stuff" we have acquired throughout the years. I have spent the last month going through things again. Our church youth group has an annual yard sale each year to support their mission trip. This year they will be traveling to Norfolk, VA where they will be helping military families. The garage sale is usually one of their biggest money making events.
As I have gone through the house, I try to really take a look at things. Do I really need this? Have I used it in the last year? Then if the answer is no then I get rid of it. It is surprising to me how much easier it is to keep the house clean as we get rid of things.
I would challenge you to go through your things. Do you really need it? If not, find another home for it. I may give it to another family who can use it or I give it to Goodwill or similar organization. Better yet, if there is a lot of stuff, hold a garage sale and donate the money made to a worthy organization.
