Meglet Nov 2024 11:39am, 6 Nov 2024 25,239 posts	0 Meglet I think you have to see it as ‘that money has been spent and whether I wear it or not I’m not getting it back’. Trying to persuade my fiance to get rid of several suits he never wears, is unlikely to, but cost a lot. However they’re not worth much now as even on Vinted he won’t recoup much more and the hassle level is high. They’re still in the spare room wardrobe

".... This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day."
