Saving That Sweater for a Winter Day 2020
Good Day Everyone,
I got this idea while scouring through and purging my things gone crazy. I am nearing my retirement years and I think about whether I will have the ability to buy the things I may need 10 or 20 years from now. Silly things like underwear, or towels, or shampoo. Admittedly, there isn’t a huge nest egg waiting for me down the road. A moderate retirement pension from one job will somewhat keep be afloat, but the unknown always lurks. So, as I am sorting through and cleaning away things that I just don’t need right now, I ask myself – will I need this in a year or five? And if the answer is ‘YES’ then it goes into a clear plastic tote. Sweaters, shirts, pants that are in great shape and were given to me to boot!! They all go into the tote and somewhere in the future I can go ‘shopping” in the basement and get some new clothes.
Several clear plastic bins make it easy to see what is inside.
Clear Bins are the Key
Using clear bins so I can see what is inside will make it easier when I go ‘shopping’ in the future. When I finally wear out that special sweater, you know the one with the pockets and the nice, comfy fit, I can replace it simply by finding another one just like it. And at the time, maybe 4 or 5 years from now, I will be glad I didn’t give it away!
Love to all,
Patricia
