How did I get so much crap?

Today, as I was digging in my closet for something, I realized I have accumulated so much stuff over the years it's become almost completely unmanageable.

I think I'm just going to start dumping stuff, and not be concerned with what it's worth- old receivers, computer parts, clothes, etc.

In the trash-bag, out the door, into the compactor.

Yup. I moved not long ago, and it was ridiculous how much stuff I had. I got rid of most of it. But now after a few months it's piling up again.

Wish my bank account acted the same way as the junk pile - more and more and more.

Sell it on eBay. That's how I clear out all my old crap. Then I buy something more valuable to me with the cash.

Kind of like recycling.

I'm currently packing for a move and am thinking the exact same thing. I've been pulling stuff out of the back of cupboards that I haven't seen/used in years. Off to the dumpster it goes!

Don't you see that's the problem?

All the stuff I save thinking it might be worth something, I'll sell it on eBay, give it away, etc, but I just never get around to it.

I think I'll be better off just dumping it.

I'm thinking the exact same thing as I clean out my closet and underneath my bed. I'll be moving out for good as soon as I find a job and I'm just getting all my stuff so it's easier to move. I've got a lot of stuff that I wish I hadn't bought when I did that I don't know what to do with now.
