Good work, flowerseverywhere. We are a couple of years behind you along the same path. We just started decluttering in earnest this past year in order to downsize sometime over the next year or two. We looked at an open house that was 400 sq ft smaller than the house we have now and I think we could even go a bit smaller. I am excited because the smaller house will save us a lot of money between the initial price, heating and cooling, and upgrades and repairs and take less time to clean and do the yard work.
I have been happy getting rid of the junk and so far have not missed a thing. Last weekend we went to the recycling center and had the trunk and back seat of the car just filled with old boxes and the shredded contents of old files I have been cleaning out.
