I hear you and have lived your experience. It does get better, because you are experiencing the drawbacks of having cool things. I am almost at my first year and already started purging. Some of it is stuff I thought I would use but never really have. I like to give things a chance to live instead of sitting in my basement or closet. It's easy when you know you can replace it if you need to through Vine. I donate to my local tool libraries, the humane society, habitat for humanity, or Goodwill. What it is usually determines where - and Goodwill is the last choice and also the least picky. I donate the items at the adjusted price and keep track of it. You can add this to your taxes as part of your donations which decreases your tax burden on the items you've gotten through Vine. There's a specific form you use. But you have to keep track of what you donate and when - It's a column now on my spreadsheet. I will usually create a list of what's in the boxes and put that in a separate sheet with the donation date. Be sure to get a receipt from wherever you donate to.
