    My husband took a whole box of books to the Goodwill yesterday. He said he was inspired by me getting rid of stuff. So maybe there is a contagion effect, in both directions.

    I think instead of getting a bigger house it’s better to downsize your stuff to fit where you live. As we age we need less stuff and I don’t want to leave a mess for my kids.

    I agree. When he sees me prepping a box for a donation pickup, he will put a couple things in it.

    I totally agree with this! Not only do I need less stuff - I want less stuff!
