Study on clutter and relationships

7 June 2016

I’m always urging clients not to let stuff have power over their relationships. It breaks my heart when I see disagreements over stuff getting in the way of happy relationships.

In honor of National Moving Day (May 31), Sparefoot recently commissioned a study on the extent of Americans’ clutter and how it affects relationships and health. The results are interesting, and confirm a lot of things I’ve seen to be true. For example, the study found that 91 percent of Americans have kept an item because they felt guilty getting rid of it.

If you’re a numbers cruncher, you can read the complete results from the survey company. Or you can take look at this nifty infographic created by SpareFoot that summarizes the results.
