why do you want to be rich???

I took something like 7 bags of old clothes off to GoodWill a few weeks ago. *And I swear, it hardly made a dent! *It was a good feeling though, to get that stuff out of the house.

And to be fair, I have two roommates, so some of it was their stuff. *Plus, I think there was about a half-bag of stuff my Grandma was just going to throw out that was still good, so I added it to my pile to donate.

It's amazing though, how fast these clothes can pile up! *And I never really thought of myself as one that buys a lot of clothes. *I think the problem is just that I hold onto stuff forever!

Yeah, my clothing budget is minimalist already, and will drop to near zero in retirement, as t-shirts and cut-offs are fairly inexpensive...

That's me too - some of the clothes I've been getting rid of are at least 10 years old. Good news/Bad News - our Rotary club is going to be doing a huge fundraiser/garage sale - I can get rid of everything, but I have to stockpile it until August. :P
