January is a perfect time for some decluttering - closets, offices, and garages. (Well, once it gets a little warmer!)
I speak from experience - I decluttered my home office a few weeks ago and it has been a much more pleasant place to spend time ever since.
Your friends at "The Minimalist" put together a list of 15 stats about Americans and our possessions and they are eye-opening.
(At least as far as you can trust stats on the internet. They certainly sound plausible.)
For instance:
"Americans make one impulse purchase every two days, spending up to $5400 annually ($324,000 over their lifetime)."
3 or 4 impulse buys a week? That's called a single trip to Target.
You can read the whole list HERE if you want. It can be a bit convicting, especially this soon after the holidays.
