Never been much of a horder, but I have a philosophy: I look at an item and if I say to myself that I will never use it again, then I get rid of it

It's a tube tv, which would have been top of the line 18 years ago. I can't imagine anybody would want it save the parts.

Top of the line?
If it has a lot of life left on it, then you have some market for $5-50 on a top of the line CRT, because competitive gamers, retro gamers look for good tube TVs because LCD/LED/Plasma TVs still carry lag. Not a single flat panel TV is without input lag, relative to a system that has a PPU for composite video connection. So that would be all 8-bit, 16bit, and some 32bit console systems.

Really? Of Sharp TVs, that is one of the best for SNES CRT hunters. Sadly, only worth like $40. but hay. 30-40 you didn't have before with pick-up. Just put it up on craigslist , "Sharp 32U-S50 32 inch CRT great for retro gaming pickup only - $30".

I have made the joke to my wife for years that I don't want a heavy house and then we laugh and laugh, then stop and laugh some more. But I digress. The point is that it has become a discipline to get rid of some of the psychical and sometimes emotional clutter in my life. So, I regularly go through the house and dispose (throw away, give way, donate, sell) the stuff I'm not going to use again.

Just a quick update, because I know all of you care:
Since starting this I have yet to eat out. I've made big meals the past two Sundays and they have lasted me for the better part of lunch/dinner for the week. The only thing I keep buying are veggies/fruits for the morning smoothies, and I did buy one of those pre-made pork loins from Da Jewelz. All told I've had about 18 meals since starting, and have only paid $90.00.
I use never to no dishes, and anything I do is washed right away. My water usage, we'll see in May, but I haven't been running the dishwasher/laundry machine. Haven't bought a pack of smokes, nor chew. I no longer speed while in my car, actually probably going under the speed limit. Haven't turned on the heat in my car either so my tank is lasting longer than it has the rest of this winter.
All told, I'm loving this. We'll see how it goes the rest of the school year and how much I save.

During the summer of 1983 I decided not to use the air conditioner in my house. I didn't and I survived

Up until about 5 years ago I had never lived in a house that had air conditioning. Throughout my entire childhood I slept in an upstairs bedroom with just a ceiling fan and maybe a window fan.
