these thing you can sale and benefit form them as long as you can sell it and make money you are benifiting on what you have.people have a lot of thing that is of great are less value.

Yeah...uh, I'm kinda with cobrateacher on this one...how are there benefits to being a packrat? I'm a writer and collect tons of newspapers and magazines - at last count, 5 laundry baskets full worth of them - and eventually I need to clip the specific articles I like and recycle all the rest... Benefits to having five laundry baskets full of newspapers and magazines? None. Negatives? Plenty - lack of space in my room, potential fire hazard, and a severe case of procrastination on my part. :)

Are there really benefits? I thought my house is just cluttered and in dire need of a thorough cleaning. Actually, it is clean, but there are so many stacks of stuff I thought I'd get to someday, it's insane. One of these days, I'll just have to bring in a gigantic trashcan!

some of your thing probably is of some value is why you haven,t gotten rid of it and that will bring you some benifits like cash. so don,t think of it as trash it couls be worth somthing.you know what they say people junk is someone treasure.
