How Does Clutter Affect Your Bottom Line?

This weekend the whole family showed up in St. Joseph, Michigan for my Dad’s burial service. It was a gorgeous day and the service was beautiful with military honors and daughter Morgan giving a lovely tribute to her Grandpa.
 
For me, the remarkable part was 35 people all came together --daughters and families, sister and family, Mom, all of my Cousins (Hi Dan!), 2 adorable second cousins, Aunts and my pricelessly funny choir director from High School:)--a family reunion, of sorts.
 
It was a morning and lunch to remember. Even though the weekend was short, we packed in some fun, too...well, of course the babies were there and of course we made it to the beach!

​To keep it brief--today I have one simple thought for you to consider…

What affect is clutter having on your money situation?

Because...
​

• Everything we buy moves our financial balance closer to zero, sometimes even below.
• Americans carry credit card debt at an average of over $16,000.00 spread over 3-4 credit cards.
• Recent statistics also report nearly 8 out of every 10 Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.

There’s an amazing thing that happens when you start decluttering your space--

You become more intentional about what you buy.

It’s a HUGE shift--and one of the many positive benefits of releasing items you no longer need or want.
​
All of a sudden accumulating/shopping isn’t so exciting anymore. And you find yourself with more money!

And a home that feels: Simple, Peaceful, Clear.

Two AMAZING benefits!!!!

How often is shopping and buying things you don’t really need or love a coping mechanism for feeling bored, sad or stressed?

This is a big shift in focus...again, my favorite question, “What’s REALLY important?”

Send me an email with your thoughts--I love hearing from you!
