OMG I have such a hard time throwing certain things away. Like my kids clothes. I have 3 girls all diffrent ages and sizes and I prefer to save as much money as possible and just pass there clothes down the line. My problem is I will keep passing them down untill they literally fall appart. Well I am finally getting to a point where now as I wash there clothes I am just taking the ones with holes and the ones that are way too dingy and throwing them away. We have people who are actually willingto donate brand new clothing to my children as we are literally bearly paying our rent right now that I dont see a need to save these clothes at this point in time.

I have a storage locker full of stuff from when my son was a baby, my ex and I really need to go through that stuff at some point. There are baby pictures and things in there that I really want to keep. Mostitems need to be tossed though.

Before,when I was living in a bigger apartment,I was a bit of a pack rat.
Now a days,I live in a small apartment.
And I need the space.
So it´s seldom I buy things that I never use.

Sometimes I do. I'm sure I don't need half of what I have. I am not nearly as bad as some people that I know though. I don't like getting rid of clothes or magazines,but i force myself to do both, because I realize it's clutter serving no useful purpose.

As I live in a small apartment,it´s hard to buy things I don´t need.
At least 2-3 times a week,I throw away some things that I don´t need.

hi Garfield, coming from a family who were refugees in WW II I am a packrat but I hope not to an extent like my mom who will keep absolutely unusable stuff "because it could be good one day".


myLot reputation of 72/100. Garfield1 (1259)   ranked 2,924 out of 35,530 in people  2 years ago

When I was living in a bigger apartment,I was sometimes thinking;that can be good to have.Perhaps I will use it one day.And I never used it.
Now a days,I live in a small apartment.
So I must always think twice,when I buy new things.
Do I really need it?

YES< YES YES!! I am a packrat! I have been trying to get past it.
I read in Dear Abby that it is a symptom of OCD, and I believe that is the problem. Along with some other things I have come to realize, i think I would benifit from some medical help with this problem.

I moved from a biggerapartment to a smaller one.
So I´ve no space for things that I don´t use.
So I try every month,to throw away some things,that I know I never will use
