In reply to Budget Life List. That feels like the ultimate goal to me!

I can relate! I have moved more than most during childhood and adulthood but every time I still try to purge all the splurge. I feel grateful too that our houses are getting smaller and that we dont need to finance a storage unit. Winning!

In reply to She's FIRE'd. The less I have the happier I am. And although I don't love my kids stuff, I know one day they will grow up and I will miss seeing their belongings in my home.

In reply to Annabel. I CRAVE paper books! I cannot get the knack of e-readers either. Using a thrift store/charity shop sounds like a perfect solution!

Books are a tough one for me- I love them and there are some that I actually WILL re-read, but I have too many. Like you, I discovered when I moved about 8 years ago, that too much stuff made my life MORE complicated and harder to keep organized. I haven’t come up with a way to keep it permanently down, and have to purge now and again. It’s better though, and my life is simpler with less stuff.

I tried using an e-reader for books to try and stop the book clutter, but I didn’t like it.

Our local library is too awkward to get to, but I have a charity shop really close where I can purchase books for £1 each. I buy a book, read it, then donate it back.
