Rather, you should all pack and move. It's actually a liberating experience. You get to see how much junk and garbage have been cluttering your lives. We've moved quite a bit in the past couple of years and it doesn't get easier but you find ways to make it less tiresome. This time around, I've decided to purge all old documents. We have a shredder and a three-year-old. It's a great combination for getting rid of old, useless documents.
Why do I need bank statements from 10 years ago? I don't.
Is there a reason I need copies of tax returns older than three years old? No.
Do paystubs from jobs long ago matter in my life now? I don't think so.
Why did I save all of our bills -- phone, electric, water, credit card, whatever? I was channeling my inner squirrel, perhaps.
Take a look around your house for a minute. It's the new year and time to start fresh. Purge. Purge like there's no tomorrow. Then again, there wasn't a tomorrow, why would it matter?
We're getting rid of the old, to make room for the new, so in ten years, I can do the same thing.
Isn't it amazing how much junk one collects over the years?

I'm so amazed at what I've held onto. This time I'm really getting rid of stuff and it feels great.
