[76] Four Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Buying Something New - a podcast by Laura Trotta

It’s Minimalist March in my Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs community and we’re all encouraging each other to declutter our homes, live with less, and become conscious consumers.

In my own home over the past month or so we’ve literally spent hours decluttering, selling some items on our local Buy Swap and Sell Facebook Group and even holding a stall at the local Rotary Car Boot Sale. Despite these efforts we still have boxes of items we no longer want or need.

I know that we’re totally not alone when I say we’re feeling suffocated by our stuff.

In fact, if you’re anything like the average Australian, you live in a big house (yup, Aussies win the prize for the biggest houses in the world!) and your house is full of stuff.

If the past month of decluttering has taught me anything, it’s reminded me to be extra discerning when I’m bringing new items into the home. So, in this episode I thought I’d share with you four questions you should ask yourself before buying something new.
