[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just throw it all out.  If your house is cluttered, it means you can't really use or access any of the junk -- so it's effectively the same thing as as if you already threw it all out.  Like, you may have all your Pepco bills from 2005, but who would know? And how would you find it if you needed it? Ergo, just throw it out.  My husband and I have each kept a large tuperware bin of our own junk (high school yearbooks, fraternity shirt, funny knick nack from middle school). We have a couple bins of photos. And a well stocked kitchen (because we cook a lot). A cupboard with actively used electronic things (wires, cables, chargers, batteries) and about 4 small filing boxes with paperwork (taxes, immigration papers, and records).  Pint sized cans of all the paint in our house. A shelf of tools.  A cupboard of office supplies. Other than that, we really don't have much stuff in our house. We love it. I like to think that if we died tomorrow, we wouldn't be leaving a disaster zone for someone to clear out.....[/quote]
