How Many People Still Carry Old Expired Credit Cards In The Wallet?


Am I the only one who is still carrying old and expired credit cards in my wallet?  I was only aware of it when I was told by a waiter tonight that my credit card was no good.  I recently organized my wallet and yet, there are still useless stuff that are taking up space.  To avoid getting confused again next time when I try to pay for something, I just shredded my old Discover card.  Now my wallet is one card lighter.

Let's Declutter and Move On!

Image
For a very long time, I have been feeling very bogged down.  Yet, I don't even know which aspect of my life makes me feel this way, since it can be just anything.  I feel so overwhelmed that I don't even know where to start looking for the sources of my feeling. I'm feeling overwhelmed by just the sight of everything around me, including my purse.  I need to get out of my state of paralysis, I must!  So I need to start doing something! Since I don't really know where to start, I begin with the most obvious and frequent trigger of my mental paralysis: my wallet.  My wallet has been so bulky and stuffed that I have come to a point where  I can't even buckle the snap anymore. I'm not the type to carry cash. It's mainly because I never was given cash to carry when I was a kid. No, my parents never gave me any allowance or pocket money. They never made me run shopping errands either. I never had a cent in my pocket when I was growing up.  Then ...

It's Time To Sort Through The Wallet Again

Image
Just when I thought that I had slimmed down my wallet , there I saw a reward card from a grocery store that no longer exists.  I have to say that looking at this reward card makes me miss my once favorite grocery store.  Since the closing of the store, I haven't cooked one single meal at home.  This store used to have very tasty marinated chicken breasts that  tasted so fresh and delicious. The price of such fresh tasting chicken breasts was also very reasonable.  All I needed to do was  pan fry them.  I never liked to cook my own chicken at home because the meat always tasted gamy. The same gamy taste can be found in the chicken from a lot of lower-price restaurants.  Chicken breasts that are frozen usually carry this kind of stinky smell.  The smell can be somewhat  temporarily masked by the high heat Chinese stirfrying method and the Asian sauces, but  I could always taste it even when the meat was fresh out of the wok. ...

I'm Not a Plant Hoarder

Image
I may be a hoarder of some sort and I have a lot of clutter in my apartment .  But I know I'm definitely not a plant hoarder.  It's because I never owned any house plant until I recently bought a pot of chrysanthemum for $6.51 (Price + Sales Tax) from the grocery store.  I don't know why I bought the plant.   I could be inspired by the gardening book that I once read . But after bringing the plant home, I had to find a space to put it, and that started my motivation to declutter, and therefore this blog.  The space where I put my one and only house plant had been previously  piled high with lots of books and magazines .  Now that I had cleared up that small spot on the counter to make room for my first and only houseplant in my life, I am beginning to feel the pleasure of living a clutter-free life.  I'm happy that inside my cluttered apartment, I have this one bright spot that is free of clutter.
