Given the housing prices in the Bay Area, comparing the joy you get from something with the cost to store it, can really help with decluttering. I live in a smallish apartment, and was tempted to rent some extra storage for stuff like holiday decorations and other stuff used seasonally. Then I realized at $100/month for the extra storage, it is cheaper for me to buy the seasonal stuff every year and then when I am done with it to throw away/recycle it.
