Extra Stuff

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.

M Most of us don’t like to sort through our stuff and discard what we are not using.  It’s boring, overwhelming, and decisions we’d rather avoid.  So, our stuff collects and crowds shelves, closets, cabinets.

V The extreme is to be a hoarder where stuff interferes with daily living.  Here’s an added motivation: consider that the unused chair, set of pans, pair of shoes might meet another’s need who really can’t afford that item new.

Salvation Army, Goodwill and other thrift stores, repurpose those items to meet another’s needs and some offer employment opportunities to marginalized people.

M Decluttered space encourages decluttered minds.  Remember it’s all God’s, just ours on loan.  Pass it on.
