I try to keep my 'stuff' at a minimum as it just creates clutter and is a nuisance.
For those of you who may get inspired to do a big purge after reading this thread, please try to avoid taking stuff to the dump if you can! It makes me sad when I go to the dump (been there a few times the past couple months due to flooring reno at the house) and see perfectly usable items sitting there. There's Goodwill, clothing bins, Kijiji, Craigslist, Garage Sales , etc. for alternatives. I know it requires a little extra effort on your part but it's better than tossing it in the bins at the dump!
