Yeah, but if you de-clutter, unless you can then downsize to something else, what do you gain? Now you're just paying that 20% towards storing air.

I guess you could replace the clutter with something else (another comfy chair?) but I'd rather have the books.

I could argue that some of my books are definitely not clutter even though I don't physically open them very often. Sentimental value or 'I paid $40 for it' maybe.

But if you never declutter, you'll never be able to move in a smaller place. It has to start somewhere.

Also, lots of useless clutter isn't usually very good for your sanity.. :)
