Clark loves to jog, and he prefers to jog through neighborhoods because the asphalt is softer than concrete. As he runs along neighborhood streets, he tends to look in into open garages. Most of the garages he passes can only fit one car in them because people have so much stuff and nowhere to put it. Rentals of storage units are growing by leaps and bounds because Americans love to shop and accumulate junk. There is 70 square feet of retail space for every American. That’s like having our own retail store. If you can’t pull one of your cars into the garage, it may be time for Clark’s “closet test.” Go through each of your rooms and look for clothing, furniture and knickknacks that have no use anymore. Clark used to buy things just because they were on sale. Now, he buys only what he needs. Something that helps with this is to put yourself on restriction and shop every two weeks for perishables and non-perishables once a month. That way, if you’re not in the stores, you’re not tempted to buy more things.
