Spring cleaning

Boy, do I have a LOT of stuff. The stupid thing is, if, instead of purchasing the worthless crap that I did, I had placed the money into savings, I would probably have the downpayment to a house by now. Or at least have a bit of savings. I blame being in a "spending" environment, working in a mall. Otherwise, I wouldn't normally be there, as I hate shopping. If I had the means, I would be one of those people who would pay a personal shopper to shop for them.
Anyways, I find myself with a lot of useless stuff because I end up buying in my store just to make my sales plans, and that's really not smart. Frequently, I end up buying gifts, or want to try new things. But, I remember that I don't use synthetic products anymore because my skin doesn't like it, and so I end up having a lot of unused products still in their original shopping bag. What a waste. That and I get a lot of stuff from my mom who buys random items, hoping, I think, that one of her purchases may be something I would wear. If I ever have children, instead of buying them toys or other uselessness, I would like money to be donated into their college fund or other wealth-building account. The annual trip to Goodwill/Salvation Army ought to be fun.
I need a few more bits of furniture before my room can feel organized, but with the recent addition of a bookcase/dresser, I have a lot more open floorspace. Just one step closer to the de-clutter I need so I can concentrate on reading/writing.
