| Which of the following statements best describes your living situation? | I live in a spacious home with a few areas in which space for living or storage is limited and causes issues. |
| Describe rooms or areas of your home in which the lack of available space makes living, storage, decluttering, and/or organizing challenging. Be as specific as you can. | Spacious is relative, right? My house has a sunken living room directly to one side when you step in and the house is open concept with stairs in the center. A great deal of space is unusable due to location of the sunken living room. Small linen closet, kitchen cabinets - not enough and you must turn pots or pans sideways to remove from bottom corner cabinets, - my mother said the kitchen must have been designed by a man (1970s) for a professional couple who do not cook, or have children. To put in less words. House not designed to accommodate family who have four seasons of clothing and footwear (-40 to +40 Celsius/-40-104 Fahrenheit), play sports or have hobbies or worse, have both, store food and cook meals from scratch, or has linen to accommodate four seasons. And yet it’s a 3-bedroom home. It really was designed for a minimalist couple. Why am I still here? The market being what is and the costs associated with selling would mean moving into a less safe area and perhaps a home with hidden surprises/repairs I could not afford. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Billion-dollar question. If we don’t buy and buy the economy won’t move and acquire our money, then the makers, marketers, and bosses, and businesses won’t make their money, then prices will likely increase because people want to and need to earn money (except the majority of fat cats who earn enough to feed all the skinny cats and are mostly so greedy and selfish that they won’t be part of a solution that touches their mass of surplus wealth). How does the world turn if people with limited resources don’t hand over their ressources to those with limitless ressources? If I stop clutter at the door how will the fat cats proceed? If everything keeps going up in price and everyone needs to earn more money to buy even essential items, even those who have no earnings for legitimate reasons, and those who earn or receive a great deal of money want or need more for the price increases of luxuries, well, how do we stop this giant snowball that is growing as it rolls down the steepest mountain imaginable? Will it only go splat when the world’s ressources have exhausted? Eek. What does this have to do with ask us anything. 😶 |
