I started out decluttering the inside of my car and once that was done we decided we didn't need 2 cars and sold it! Not having to worry about all the extras ( gas, insurance, maintenance etc) has been so freeing. I know that's not an option for most people, but we're fortunate enough to live in a very walkable area with easy access to public transportation and lots of family nearby in case of emergency so we're taking advantage of that while we can.
