Completely agree, I am the same way. It is well worth it to live a minimalist lifestyle. I also threw out boxes and boxes of worthless junk recently - thousands of baseball cards, beanie babies, old broken items, obsolete gadgets (cd players) etc. Living minimalist is the way to go, here is why: when you need to clean the home, it is easier to clean. You can get a roomba and the roomba is able to clean the entire carpet because there aren't boxes of junk everywhere. Also when you have less stuff, your house can be better organized. Just look at home design magazines - almost all have minimalist design to them.
