[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agreen with previous poster, except for the selling/consignment. if you are like me, and you soud like me, you will never find the time to sell/ consign, and the things will find their way back in the mess. just take them to the nearest charity box (if clothing or shoes), or to the goodwill. you will get the tax document at least. unless you have expensince stuff to sell, it is simply not worth your time trying to get a few tens or hundreds dollars (and at least in my case it would be tens). whenever I tried to set things aside for selling, eventually the bag was opened by somebody and things got back in the mess. and the real trick is to stop buying stuff you do not really absolutely need (that's how you save money, not by wasting your time by selling them at a fraction of the price). another suggestion is try to limit the paper coming in. sign up for online bills as much as possible. I have a box I put the mail inside, trying to throw away immediately the junk, and try to loook at it during the week end. it dies ot work perfectly, I still have unopened mail around the house, but I acceopt I am not perfect, adn it is better thah before when I did not have the box and the daily mail would end up all over. good look, you are not alone[/quote]

OP again.  Yes, yes, yes about the slowing down of the buying. Something new is always coming to the house.  I buy for my dc a year ahead of time, and she grows so fast that some of the stuff never gets worn......all in the name of a sale. I would probably be cheaper to pay full price when the item is actually needed.  Went through DC's fall/winter clothing and there is too much......4 winter coats; lots of sweaters.....etc.   I can take 2 of the coats back, but some places have return deadlines. I buy and then don't know what I have tucked away in a tub in the attic.  That would be a fine goal.....not to buy........boy!  Easier said than done.[/quote]
