When I first started decluttering I hated it and it was hard to let go of stuff. The more you do it the easier it gets. I started when I was still working full time.

Having done it twice it’s a burden. Thankfully my parents spared me and I will do the same for my kids. I remember Bae’s horrible stories about his in-laws. He isn’t getting those days back. In the Swedish culture it’s expected and called death cleansing. I actually started at age 50.
