No One Wants Our Stuff ( Sharing Something Really Personal )

nobody wants my stuff let's get started and talk about it and show about it you know I was just thinking something I'm almost 60 years young I'm 59 years old and many folks spend money in their 20s 30s and 40s on all sorts of stuff from clothing to gadgets to decorations you name it right but you know what's funny is in your 50s 60s and Beyond you're getting rid of all the stuff that you bought in your 20s 30s and 40s that's what I want to chat with you guys about today because if something were to happen to my husband and myself does my daughter who is a minimalist by the way want any of our stuff to be totally honest maybe about 2% of it and that's what I'm going to show about thank you okay all I've never shown you the garage I never even go in the garage but I'm about to show you we have so much stuff yes I've decluttered this is the issue this is part of the reason I'm filming this instead of my hubby is that a lot of the stuff is his I've decluttered a lot of my things not that I couldn't do more but much of it is stuff that we've had for years and years and it's hard to get someone who is a pack rat to declutter just being real one thing I can tell you my channel might not be the most popular Frugal Channel out there and there may be times where some videos don't interest you but I'm going to tell you I really try to be real on this channel and a lot of the things I say uh can be judged by many people I'm sure but I want to be honest and authentic I don't live a perfect life so I'm going to show you this garage and I'm going to show you a few other things around the house so stay tuned well I tried to show you the garage but guess what it's locked so I can't show you let me just tell you every space in this entire garage is all filled I'm going to see if I can take you over to the wind window and see if you can even see anything you'll probably shock you scare you oh yes you're going to be able to see some things this just kind of I don't even know if you can see it but this kind of shows you all the stuff that's in there I don't even know what's in there most of it's my husband's stuff remember he didn't get married till he was 36 a lot of this is his some of it may be from the family before but it just kind of shows you I'm going to show you a few things around the house too here's an example right here of a bunch of movies now most of these 95% of these are not mine so I can't get rid of them but this stuff takes up clutter to me if you've already got all of these filled and you're having to put stuff on the top that means you need to donate some that's this is just one small example okay right here is a beautiful hope chest I actually can't remember where I got it there's a bunch of stuff inside there to be totally honest I haven't looked in there in years I think my yearbooks in there I don't even remember what's in there okay we're in the middle bathroom I don't use this tub at all okay but because I don't use it I use it for storage because I literally do not have space to put it okay all of these things now we do use these there's some heaters in there heater fans that's the thing that I'm supposed to use to soak my feet I've only used it twice some special mops bucket I'm not saying there's anything wrong with keeping this in here but I would like to create more space for all of this okay right here's a donation bin but right over here are things that I don't even have space to put my demo bag some potatoes I don't even have counter space to put them now that bag right there are some dishes that I'm going to be taking to My Demo every bookshelf we have is taken up with books inside this entire cabinet are all books as well as you can see every space is taken up with books now these are not mine I am not blaming all all of this on my husband by the way this is these are all my books right there all of these up here are all these games cuz we have nowhere to store them under here more books behind here A bunch of movies this is kind of hard to move though so I don't mess with it most of them are VCR type movies and from what I know our VCR is not working any longer this thing is really old but I don't think the VCR portion works here is an area that looks just terrible in our house yeah it looks organized over there but we have way too much stuff I told my husband we don't need three tool boxes full of stuff we don't need all this stuff now here is the real issue guys I just wanted to be honest and share this with you the real issue is this all of these cupboards here have decorations and things like that in them okay every space here is all taken up we even have stuff here okay just junky the thing is there's some important things that I want to purchase that I don't have space for because all of this is taken up so as you can see it makes it extremely difficult to declutter when most the stuff isn't mind number one and number two there's important things I want to bring into this house right now that could be helpful such as emergency prepared stuff if we have another bad storm I however do not regret having all these blankets because we have had a few cold days in Dallas and I remember when our heat was not working in January these blankets came in handy cuz it was down in the 20s at night and so this definitely came in handy so I'm not saying get rid of everything but if there's things I want to purchase that are going to be helpful full I don't have room to buy anything or put it I'm going to be honest with you guys walking around here showing you some of those areas it really has me a little agitated I'm just being real with you I cannot blame it on one person though you you you never just put all the blame on someone because hey I've been part of the issue too over these years but I have been decluttering each week but the only way to really declutter is just to get rid of a lot of the books a lot of the movies a lot lot of the tools that you're not using and just really go through and get rid of a lot of it and then save space for things that are really important that you may need later on that's what I'm talking about right now because literally I can't buy anything else unless it's something that's for immediate use such as food possibly a candle maybe a few flashlights things like that I don't have room for anything that I might find useful because I have to try to create space for it because the thing is is think of your house as a certain size and every year you bring more and more stuff in well unless you what I call declutter rehome the things you're not using you what ends up happening is you're just your place gets so crammed and one of the issues is is if you live with someone else who doesn't want to get rid of anything it makes it a real challenge let me know what you guys think about this topic it's kind of embarrassing to come to you with this but I tell you I'm getting real on here and then I also want to say think about this if we didn't buy all this stuff over the years or even only bought part of it think about all the money you could invest and save by not buying necessary things because when we pass away our loved ones are not going to want most of the stuff we have I'm going to end with saying that I love you guys I always appreciate you listening bye-bye
