Financial benefits

I have long been a believer of this philopshopy and did not really embrace it until a fire caused us to lose a lot of important personal items back in the 90's....since then I have had a natural incliniation not to hold on to too many things but must admit it is still a constant "battle" to clear out the uneeded clutter from my life ...a big help for me is to not buy too many gadgets and things to begin with...before I make any purchases now I ask myself...is this something I am going to end up throwing out next month or next year without hardly ever having used it....it helps cut down on the clutter and it sure saves me a lot of money!
