Own fewer objects -- to simplify your life. There's a natural tendency to believe that possessing "more things" will make us happy.
But the things we own also take energy and resources. Money must be spent buying and maintaining them.

Best: Take an inventory of all your possessions. Identify those that truly add value to your life and give you pleasure and those that don't. Then rid yourself of those that cost more in time, trouble or money to maintain than they are worth.

How: Sell them in a yard sale... auction them over the Internet at a site like eBay... donate them to charity... give them to family or friends.

As you simplify your life and reduce the demands placed on you as a result of owning so many things, you may also raise cash, get a tax deduction and secure the goodwill of family members and friends.
