Nothing, anymore.
After I got divorced ten years ago, I did a major purge, then an even bigger one about 4 years ago when I downsized. At least twice a year I go through and get rid of stuff, whether it be old cosmetics or clothing, if I haven't used it or looked at it in 6 months, BYE. I rarely regret getting rid of things, and most things can easily be replaced. I find clutter very stressful.

I've noticed I have a habit of buying notepads that I just lay around for decoration.  It's to the point where I have stacks of them in the living room and my bedroom.

I'm guilty too.  I said I wasn't buying anymore until I move and even then I'll have to buy a shef specifically or them because it's so many.

Decorative and pretty things. I keep finding little trinkets and probably have more than I actually can use, but that's what happens when you are the the child of an interior designer who grew up watching decorating shows.

I donated literally half of my clothes last year and I'm planning to donate another 30 percent the beginning of next year.

I collect bank accounts and until recently kept about a dozen accounts that were not paying any interest. I had opened them because there was a nice cash bonus associated with the opening. Because they were not working for me I would define myself as hoarding something that served no purpose. I have started closing them and putting them into other accounts that pay interest. I still open non-interest bearing accounts for bonuses but I need to set a stale date in my calendar/phone for closing the ones that do not pay interest a year after they are opened. I have a Chase account that I received three dollars for opening roughly nine years ago. the bank location is convenient and I have a few point to click site rewards being deposited into it. I need to reroute those rewards and close the account because it serves as nothing but a transfer conduit right now.

I hoard clothes and other things.  I gave away about 30 bags of clothes to the Epilepsy Foundation this year.  My problem is that as I purchased new clothes, I never gave anything away.  My clothes filled all the closets in my home and elsewhere.

Nothing now, I have sold half my shoes, and  sell everything I do not wear anymore. I have 3 consignment stores I frequent.In fact made 70.00 dollars Yesterday just by selling some clothes.

And If I buy something, I sell something. I have zero purses.

I don't hoard anything. I don't like keeping things that aren't necessary.

Congrats on the deep purge, I plan to do one myself soon.

Nothing, anymore.

I stopped hoarding stuff several years ago when we went threw a financial struggle and I ended up selling all my collectables and such.

I have a lot of clothes like that too, especially clothes from when I used to work. I am retired now and always go around in shorts and jeans. I haven't worn a skirt or dress from the time I worked 8 years ago yet I still have them in my closet. I too think well, maybe I will go somewhere where I will need a skirt. But that never comes up. Even when people go to church these days, they wear nice slacks, not skirts.


Like Bragging above, I keep a lot of old clothes that were my good work clothes.  I usually worked in an office.  Figure if I go somewhere nice, I can wear them.  But usually only go to the gym and wear workout clothes.

The weirdest thing... ingredients for baking.  I bought some chocolate that was marked down from Easter.  4 years ago.  During a recent move I realized I still had it along with chocolates from Christmas.  WOW! We've had more chocolate in our candy dishes over the last 2 months than we have in 8 years.  To my surprise it all tasted fresh and none of it had that waxy coating cheaper chocolates tend to get after years of sitting through temperature changes.
