If you’re bored, volunteer, read a book, anything but spend money. You won’t use most of the crap you buy, and you’ll end up throwing it out or giving it away every time you change addresses. By the way, you’ll move six times before you turn 30. Think of all the waste! [...] [...] Stop shopping for recreation. Target and Wal-Mart are not playgrounds for aimless adults.

I know I've linked to it in a blog post. Just can't remember which one(s). And I'll tell you something else, I did not know Americans spend over $17 million buying crap they already have. I should've know disorganization was an epidemic in this country. I'm trying to do my part to reduce the collective waste. I really <em>need</em> to resolve to be more organized in 2010. I've already started with a coupon binder. Lack of organization is the primary reason I rarely use grocery coupons. If I get myself a system going, then it won't be so painful and time consuming...I'm hoping. Thanks for the facts! I LOOOOVE The Story of Stuff! I know I’ve linked to it in a blog post.

Americans also typically waste up to 14% of their food. If your family spends $450 a month on groceries & waste 14% - that means $63 is going straight into the garbage each month. $756 a year! The other day, I organized my haircare products, and much to my horror realized that I have a shelf FULL of shampoos, gels, and other products. Now that it's organized, I know I won't have to spend another dime on hair care products for many months. Did you know that Americans spend over $17 million a year purchasing items to replace ones that they've lost or misplaced due to disorganization & clutter?
