I used to look at these ideas with puzzlement. Why the hell do you earn money if you don’t spend the money on things that you enjoy? Later, I realized that it has a different audience. There are people who genuinely have too many things in their home. I have visited people who had three full shelves of dishes (it was not a big family). Those things take up their space, give them no joy nor practical value, and are better given away. Bird feeders without a bird. Piles of ropes, for absolutely no usage.

Yeah I think the implied name is: But Nothing (because you have too much already and anything you do need you can probably get from someone else who has too much)

  Yeah I have never been in a position in my life to just give stuff away. In the small circumstance that I am there is always a close friend I have in mind who would benefit from a gift. Seems insane to be a part of a community that is constantly giving free shit away.

    Where are you from. In America there are loads of people with tons of “junk”, even lower class people. Lots of people buy something thinking they’ll use it but they don’t, or they grow out of it, etc.

    I really don’t understand this and it sounds wrong to me but I haven’t down voted it because I’m wondering if it could be a cultural thing. Can you say more about never having been in a position for to give stuff away?

      Seems simple enough? They only have stuff they use, and they use them until it becomes unusable. I'm frankly much the same, I don't buy new things often and I repair them (or have them repaired, for clothes and shoes) until they start do disintegrate.

All these things hardly cost anything compared to the major expenses of utilities, housing, and food. This is less useful for saving money (although still useful) and more about saving the environment and getting rid of stuff you no longer need.
