> I've got a loose rule: if I've not used it or worn it in the last six months, it should go, no matter how much it originally cost.
My issue isn't cost; it's the emotional investment. Everything has a memory attached.

A tip for getting rid of sentimental items if you need the space: take a photo before getting rid of it. The photo can bring back the memories as well as the original item.
I have a photo of a well-used no-longer-non-stick saucepan. The pan was the only physical item I inherited from an uncle and my only physical connection to a lost family member and for years I couldn't get rid of the pan despite it's uselessness. The photo helps.
