5 More Reasons Clutter Costs You
A couple of months ago I shared 10 Ways Your Clutter May Be Costing You Money and it was a very popular post. It seems a lot of people are concerned that they may be missing out financially by having too much clutter in their homes!
Since it’s such a big issue, here are 5 more ways your clutter may be costing you money.
- You are overwhelmed by the clutter at home, so you want to escape from it by going shopping {retail therapy anyone?!}, but then you end up spending money on items you don’t need.
- You pay high interest charges on your credit card debts because you are living beyond your means.
- You pay for magazine, newspaper, or digital subscriptions that you don’t read or keep up with.
- When you sell your home you can’t get your asking price {or it takes a long time to sell} because it is so cluttered.
- You live in a larger {more expensive} house or apartment than you really need to, because you own too much stuff.
