It seems like the older you get and the more memories you make, the more “stuff” piles up right along with it. It may seem like just a little at a time, but over time it adds up and suddenly your home is cluttered and there’s no space for it all to go. As the saying goes “mess equals stress” and this stress isn’t confined to the home as it can carry over to work, school, finances, etc.
