Whatcha got?

I wonder if people really realize how much shit that they have. And I'll call it shit, because I truly think that is what a lot of people are holding on to, for a variety of reasons. I know I've got a basement full of crap, which includes not only my stuff, but my husbands and my two kids. Really, if I were to have a garage sale, the potential for what I could make if I truly put a bit of effort into it, instead of just dropping off at Goodwill, is potentially higher than the annual income for some families in other countries. What do we REALLY need - four walls, a roof, some clothes (not nearly as much as we have), some decent blankets, and clean water and food. If we were to go the no electricity route, then we'd need some candles. Do I really need a box of old cassette tapes from the 1980's? No. But, I have them. Why? No clue. I remember that my mom held onto a bunch of 8 Tracks long after the 8 Track Player went the route of the garbage. However, if I were to find that box of tapes, I would grab the Cheap Trick Live at Boudakan tape, so then I could proudly claim that I have it on 8 Track, cassette, LP and cd. See what I mean - shit.
