Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 21, 2014

I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. The shoe shelf in our garage. My family has a shoe addiction. In the first 3 weeks of 2014, I have made some decluttering progress. I reorganized my bedroom closet and dresser. It turns out I didn’t need any of it anyway.

I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. He built his own garage. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? I used to darn my family’s socks, but now don’t.

Besides a good pair of shoes, and chances are you already own a pair, there’s no investment required. Check out local thrift stores, Craigslist ads, and garage sales for low cost (and sometimes free!) Sometimes second hand sports stores also carry this type of equipment. Go for a Walk.

There was no internet.

Plus, the styles that fit are usually made by the high end manufacturers and carried in exclusive (expensive) clothing stores. There is a lovely thrift store not far from my neighborhood that receives donations from the folks in the local golfing gated community. Use someone else’s underwear, socks or shoes.
