So three days after I posted that the next time I would buy a computer is if I really needed one I bought one. I guess I'm eating my words pretty quickly. But it's not for me so cut me some slack please.

And enough stuff to empty a shelf. If you're like me, you've accumulated a ton of stuff over some time and it might be affecting the way you're living.
Signs that you have too much stuff:
- You can't park in the garage.
- You need to watch your step to get around in your room.
- You have 5 shirts at the bottom of the dresser drawer that act as padding for the shirts on top.
- You can't see the top of your desk anymore.
- You adopt cats.
