when GRAMMA died in the early '70's, everyone told, to take all her clothed BACK to the 2 GOOD stores, where she purchased them!Had a regular closet full, w/tags on.They would've taken them back & given me cash/ no questions.I did not. I told the relatives she had "USED" them. The hours she spent shopping, had given her much pleasure!I donated them.and I'm sure they brought someone else much pleasur for a whole lot less! ENJOY what you've got, & make a plan for what's left!

But we have accomplished what WE wanted - acquiring some things we like, that brought us happiness, filled our time, and let us create. That's how I look at it.
