Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

Some Things Just Have to GO!

I think the picture explains it all!!  Why was this in a desk drawer for 22 years???  And I know we have decluttered the desk at least once, maybe 3-4 times.

    It doesn’t even have nice pictures! If it was one for 2001 you could have written 2018 on it and used it next year 😉

      I hadn’t even considered reusing it. This is a boring one.

    LOL! Maybe there was like one little thing in it that made you want to keep it. Or more likely, it was just overlooked like you said!

      I looked through it just to make sure -nothing written in it at all! I think after a certain amount of time we just don’t see it. It was a scary find!

      It’s amazing what we find! Guess I need to go through my desk again. I was using it to separate the bills to be paid from some other paperwork. Never gave it a thought when I moved to mostly electronic delivery of statements years ago.

    Some items with old dates on them can end up being worth a lot… But a calendar, probably not!

      haha I serious doubt this one was worth anything – since I received it for free from work union.

          This showed us that it is easy to overlook something for YEARS without really looking at it. It was in the drawer in plain sight.
