@Sara – I think the library is the best institution ever created. Discount dog! I’ve got to visit your site to see if you explain this one further. Too funny!

Seriously awesome! This is my philosophy exactly, that the things we own can end up owning us if we’re not making smart, conscious decisions. Each time I get rid of something, I really do feel freer and richer.

And yep, we’ve been guilty of the “toy” thing too at my house. To be honest, I much prefer the company of free library books and my discount dog to these expensive, high-maintenance goodies.

@Julie – Good for you! I think you made an excellent decision!

@Marci – You are certainly committed to simplifying! It sounds like a lot of work too. I applaud your effort.

@Hayden – Keep what you truly love. Ditch the rest!

Thanks for telling your stories!

I totally agree with you…but I am still not giving up my trampoline! I got it for $50 off Craigslist and I LOVE IT.

Congrats on working towards the simple life!

I myself am having a few stumbling blocks, but I’m working at it. 2.5 years ago I bought an old worn out 460 sq ft house in a great location (across the street from my grandkids!)…and have been busy adding on and remodeling (cash basis!) I’m gettin near the end and have the sore muscles and caluses and paint stained clothes to prove it. I’ll end up with a 1035 sq ft 2 bdrm house that I designed just for me. Like instead of a walkin closet, I have a 6×6.5 ft scrapbook/memory room.handmade gift making room And the 2nd bedroom is entirely for the little grandkids – bunkbeds and toys/books.

I made a deal with myself that if an item/items didn’t fit in this house (put away in cabinets – not in boxes still on the floor) that it was going. This has been hard to do – I still have a stack of boxes, but the stack lessens every week. I am Determined!!! At the moment, my stuff OWNS me – but I will change that soon! My goal is by 5.5 months for now.

My outside stuff, gardening and tools, has to fit in the 7×10 wood shed – along with the firewood!

Garage sale soon – clothes to charity now.

If it doesn’t fit, out of sight, it’s going!
Good luck with your purging also!
