Downsizing

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we've been trying to live more responsibly.

The excess we still live with is amazing. As we look around the house and ask, "What can we get rid of?" there is no shortage of things to choose from.

It's all a matter of perspective. If we compared it with the average Australian home, what we own is probably very modest. Mind you, you don't need to have much stuff to make a place take on a cluttered feel, and we do struggle with that.

If you really put your mind to it, there's a lot of stuff you can do without.

Where do you draw the line? Is it to do with aesthetics and clutter? Do you draw the line at lack of use? Sentimentality? Stuff that's too old? A relative state of brokenness?

What makes you decide to downsize?
