My currently open Outlook is holding onto 125 MB of RAM. I have at least 12 spreadsheets open in Excel for 112 MB.

IMHO you are wildly overestimating the RAM use of those programs, aside from the others, as they normally run (sure - I can get Excel over a GB running scripts or manipulating a large file).

Right now I'm sitting at:

- Slack 1.08GB

- Safari (11 tabs) 4.50GB

- Chrome (5 tabs) 2.17GB

- Outlook 1.13GB

These are ludicrous numbers and, frankly, the only reason why I need 16GB+ machines.
