🌼5 Things I'm Glad I Got Rid Of🌼 2026 First Half Ver.

Hello 😃 I have ASD, but I want to become a millionaire.
I'm often asked, "What's the secret to building wealth?" and my answer is simple."The first step to building wealth lies in decluttering." That is all.

2026 marks my 9th year of decluttering. For me now, letting go of attachments wasn't just about cleaning my room; it was the process of rebuilding my life.

It's a little early, but I'd like to introduce 5 things I'm truly glad I got rid of in the first half of 2026.

1. The burden of "the company"

I'm jumping right in, but I have graduated from the "corporate life" I had been living for many years.My investments were going well, and I was confident that I could "quit anytime," but in reality, I kept dragging it out and pushing myself too hard.I worked so much that my parents worried about me having too much overtime, and as a result, I developed an adjustment disorder (which later turned out to be a semi-depressive state caused by ASD).

Now that I've resigned and recovered my health through medication, I can laugh and say those days were "the biggest piece of junk of the year."Getting rid of an environment that didn't suit me was the greatest investment I could make to protect myself.

2. Possessions stained with "painful memories"

Writing utensils, name straps, and expensive custom-made suits that were remnants of my corporate days... I either disposed of them all or let them go on Mercari. I had some hesitation, thinking, "I might use these for job hunting someday," but keeping them felt like..."a prophecy that I would repeat those painful days again." That was the anxiety I felt.

It was especially heartbreaking to let go of the pumps that were like a lucky charm to me, which I had loved so much that I had the heels replaced many times. However, for my feet now, one pair of comfortable sneakers is enough. When my entryway became clear, I felt my heart become lighter at the same time.

3. Smart home appliances

I was spending over 4,000 yen every month on a pocket Wi-Fi that just sat in my house. I wasn't using it outside; it existed solely to connect my smart appliances. Moreover, it had many issues, and I struggled every time I had to reconnect it. I thought I was buying convenience, but...I had become a "slave to connecting Wi-Fi."

The final straw was when I was bedridden. Even when I was feeling terrible, I was forced to deal with connection failures and got absolutely furious 💢 I made the call while lying in bed and canceled the contract. I sold all the smart appliances I could no longer use to the next person on Mercari.

What remained were simple tools that didn't require complex settings. My moving luggage decreased, and the stress of struggling with breakdowns and re-settings disappeared.

4. Bicycle

Rich people worry that "their money might decrease," and people who own bicycles start to worry that "it might get stolen."If I'm going to keep carrying that worry, I'll just let it go. This was also a choice I made after facing the specific traits of my ASD.

Recently, penalties for bicycles seem to have become stricter as well. I feel that walking has the least risk, and now I feel a sense of relief and am very satisfied with a life without a bicycle 💯🌸 By making full use of online shopping and convenience stores, I was able to live within walking distance 👍✨

5. Too many undergarments and handkerchiefs

Stockpiling for "just in case" was increasing my daily management costs. Since I was doing laundry every day anyway, I didn't need five days' worth of spares for the work week💧 By narrowing it down to the minimum number, I minimized the stress of choosing📉

Finally—The Dividend of White Space

I used to be desperate to play the part of a "capable HR professional" while wearing pumps.

But now, I accept everything about myself—even the fact that my stamina has dropped so much that even a UNIQLO backpack feels heavy, and the version of me that walks in sneakers now😌💕🍀

Discarding management to gain white space The importance of "what not to manage" over "what to own." For me right now, this "time not being chased by anything" is the best dividend of all🧡🧡

"Discarding" is not about denying your past self.

It is a ritual to keep only what is "truly necessary" for your current self and move on to a new stage.

My roadmap to 100 million yen will continue with light steps from here on out👣✨☀️
