I am uncluttering because I want to see at least SOME empty space in every room; it may be due to my time of life, but I find it calming to have a well-edited environment. And as a naturally somewhat jangly person, I need to optimize factors that smooth out my vibrations.
DH and I leveraged a little more lifestyle than we really needed during the first half of our marriage to date. We had a great time, but had a bit of a hangover for a while there. :-) And we accumulated a lot of Stuff.
Since really settling in together it has become clear where our priorities truly lie. I don't see the point of keeping things that relate to activities we haven't pursued and aren't likely to return to until retirement - if ever.
I want the option of living in less space. And I really want to NOT have our amount of living space dictated by the amount of Stuff we have. We have a good bit more space than we use - the remainder is basically just storage. Rents are too high for that nonsense!
