Cost of clutter
Every time I hear a Senior tell me how much they are paying for storage my heart cringes. Have you ever considered how much your clutter costs you or your loved one?
Here’s a simple formula to help you figure it out.
Go into each room of your home and estimate the percentage of space that is taken up by things you rarely or never use; if you want the blatant truth, include everything you don’t absolutely love or haven’t used in the last year or two, maybe three. It may look something like this:
Bathroom 15%
Kitchen 30%
Etc…….
Add up all those numbers from each room and that becomes the total percentage of clutter in your entire home.
Now divide the total by the number of areas.
It may look something like this:
565% divided by 12 areas= 47% junk per room!!
So in this example, the cost of storing your clutter would work out to 47% of the cost of your rent/mortgage of your home. Sometimes simple financial mathematics helps us think about our clutter and the cost of keeping it🤔
