Stuff

I have had to pack all my belongings at very short notice during the week, and I saw it as an opportunity to throw out the stuff that I didn't want/need and I thought I could be ruthless. But I can't. And I have so much STUFF it's ridiculous. Every time I have to pack and move, I keep telling myself that I will stop buying but obviously I didn't learn my lesson 2.5 year ago, and here I am again in the same situation with too much stuff and not ruthless enough.

And what's really really annoying is that sometimes, I know I need to get rid of the stuff, but I feel so bad and wasteful about throwing it away. Often, I think I might be able to sell it and make some money, but lack the knowledge/motivation/time to sell it on ebay or something. I have so much stuff that even if I sold each item for RM5, I'd probably make enough to buy another pair of Charles and Keith shoes! Hey, replacing all that stuff with just 1 pair of shoes or a bag is a pretty good deal, ok? ;)

The bigger issue here is how to curb the spending and buying and 'collecting' to avoid having the same problem in future. When Ben and I have our own place, I don't want to go through this again. I have at least 5 bags of clothes, for goodness' sake! Grr.
