How to dispense with all that baggage
I have shared in the past that when we bought our home not too long ago we downsized. It’s been a painful process getting rid of things you thought you needed. A few weeks ago we cleaned out a mini-storage unit, you know the kind with the roll up door and a padlock. For almost two years we have been paying $40.00 a month for storing things we have not used in a million years. A lot of the things we keep are for the twenty four year old that used to live at our house. She’s now a grown up grad student and first year second grade teacher who lives in a tiny studio apartment in the Montrose section of Houston. We love her but she has been advised that we can only keep her high school memories for so long.
