acquiring more stuff than one has secret storage space for was a lifelong problem with me, too. I guess the limited quantity helped immensely with the binge and purge cycles I went thru. Then I got married and bought a house and a few years later added a garage, with an attic, into which I had stored lockable footlockers with my growing collection. I outgrew that too. Along the way I had acquired a clam shell trailer for all the family's camping equipment when the kids were growing up. Now the camping stuff is in the garage attic and I've filled the camping trailer. When that has become full and overflowing, as a diaper lover and somewhat compulsive collector, I've then given away hundreds and hundreds of cloth baby diapers, baby blankets and plastic pants to St. Vincent or Goodwill, or Salvation Army. The trailer is full right now, too, but it's all my select grown-up size diapers and plastic pants and I've given up purging as I finally recognized that I have too much, more than I can use, and have almost stopped buying anything else.
