  • Too Much Stuff

    I have lived in several different apartments in the last several years.  I have also seemed to gain a lot of stuff.  I'm not really when I got all this stuff.  I think it may have grown slowly enough that I did not notice until now.  I have had stuff in a storage unit for the past few years.  At one point I moved from an apartment alone into an apartment with 3 roommates that was already furnished. I put my stuff into storage and haven't used most of it since.  So, I am going to seminary in about 3 weeks.  I still don't have the need for the stuff because I am going to live in a furnished apartment at the school.  So I have been trying to go through everything and get what I need to take with me to the seminary.  I've been just buying things as I need them. Even if I know I have it in storage just because it is easier to do that than to try to find it in all the boxes of stuff.  That needs to stop though.  I think I may be stretching the money quite a bit at seminary.  I need to get things organized so I don't have to buy stuff I already have.  I have enough stuff to fill a two bedroom apartment.  I need to get rid of some stuff.  At least I think I do.  I've been trying to weigh this on a financial scale.  I pay about $100 a month on storage fees.  I will be in seminary for the next 3 years.  So, that is a total cost of $3600 for the next three years.  In which time I will need to furnish and apartment again.  I pretty sure I couldn't furnish and apartment for that in three years.  It's so much stuff.
