Do YOU find it Easy to Get Rid of things or Do YOU Cling to Clutter?

I always try to get rid of things whenever I can. I live with clingers around me and if I do the same, my house is going to look like junk! When it comes to clothes, I give away those that I don't wear anymore. I always think that there are others who is in need of them more than me. It is easier to part with your things that way. My hubby clings to all his clothes, when I told him I'm collecting clothes for donation, he comes back with a single piece of T-shirt. He's got tonnes of them, and he seldom uses most of them. I get so frustrated! There was once I threw away a bunch of pens which had no ink anymore. He told me that those were given to him by his father. I said it's taking up space and I though he doesn't really like his father, anyway. I just can't live with so much things lying around. I may do something drastic with my hubby things. I have had about enough! No offence to you, momforwork! I think clingers can't live with ridders.

For the most part, I am pretty good at getting rid of things. My down-fall in this is clothes. I have a bunch of clothes that no longer fit me, but I just cannot get rid of them yet. I am trying to lose weight, and seeing these clothes makes my goal more real to me.

Well, it's not that I cling to clutter. But I like keeping papers with important information in case I'll need it in the future. It always happens to me that when I finally need something, I've already thrown it out. So as long as I think I need I'll keep it around. I just hate throwing things that can can still be used. I won't recylce it either because that's just disposing your trash responsibly. My mom hates that my room is cluttered with pieces of paper haha.

Oh... I am not a clinger! I have the habit of giving away all stuff that I don't use anymore. I have given away so many clothes, bags, and shoes and even furniture and appliances that are still in good condition. Sometimes my son would chide me "Mommy why are you giving those things away...those are so expensive or those are gifts from so and so...are you not treasuring them?" But no amount of chiding could prevent me from giving away. I hate seeing my cabinet cluttered with stuffs not of use anymore. Why not let others make use of my extras. I also don't like to see unused furniture or appliance just gathering dust. I want more free spaces at home so it is so easy for me to give out or throw away. My son said I don't give importance to sentimental value. Ha!ha!ha! Maybe in a way, he is right! I can't deny that. But my hubby is also not a clinger so I have an ally in him!
