I'm a bit of a packrat - I learned it from my grandparents, who lived through the Great Depression. It used to be that I would never throw anything away that might be useful, because the minute I threw it I would find a use for it. I've gotten substantially better - when we cleaned out our house to get it ready for sale we took at least three carloads of stuff to Goodwill. I am getting much better at not being so attached to material objects. I used to have boxes full of empty boxes that might be useful for gifts or for packing stuff. I've discovered that it's much easier to just go out and find something when I need it instead of hanging on to a bunch of crap I might need, someday.
