Buy One, Toss One

Tip #27: Before Bringing One New Thing into the House, Toss Out at Least One Thing You Already Have.

Take books for an example. Can a person really have too many books? Perhaps not, but I am running out of storage room for them. The solution is to make room on the shelf before buying a new book. Better yet, don't buy books, borrow them.

Clothes are another example. How many old shirts does a person really need? Will I ever truthfully fit into a size 3 again? Turn the old shirts into rags and give the nice, but, too small clothes away.

It may be hard to part with an old cherished tee shirt, but, it is just stuff that is cluttering your life.
