THERE IS A PARADOX IN PERSONAL FINANCE…SOMETIMES WE ARE SO BUSY (with work, family, community, health) THAT WE UNINTENTIONALLY WASTE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN MANY ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES SUCH AS WITH DELAYING EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, CREATING EXCESSIVE WASTE, ACCUMULATING SPEEDING OR PARKING TICKETS, OVERDRAFT CHARGES, PENALTIES, INTEREST PAYMENTS, AS WELL AS MISSING OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE MORE MONEY OR OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE OUR RELATIONSHIPS, HEALTH, AND LIVES.

THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU PAY PER SQUARE FOOT IN ORDER TO LIVE IN YOUR PRESENT HOUSE, APARTMENT, OR CONDOMINIUM. THEN THINK OF HOW MANY SQUARE FEET OF JUNK (that you have not touched for at least a year) IS TAKING UP THESE EXPENSIVE SQUARE FEET OF: CLOSET SPACE, GARAGE SPACE, DRIVEWAY SPACE, BASEMENT SPACE, UNDER THE BED SPACE, DESKTOP SPACE, DRAWER SPACE, COUNTERTOP SPACE, AND BEDROOM SPACE.
One way to decrease the need to move to a bigger place, or to avoid renting a storage facility space, is to dramatically declutter, then rearrange what is left over (as if you were getting your place staged by a professional, so that you could visually sell your place).
