I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I have been doing eoy bookwork, and I'm as meticulous about our personal account as I am of the farm account. I set a budget for how much to sepnd each year--well you guessed it I went over. Taking a deep breath and saying "use what you have--do not buy." Repeat "use what you have--do not buy."
My stash only becomes overwhelming when I can't find what I'm looking for. My stash is organized, until I go searching and fail to put things back.
