Let’s face it – it’s been a tough year. We’ve elevated petty grievances into wars, unfriended people at a record pace, and completed none of our 2022 resolutions. But that’s the whole point of the New Year: we get a fresh start to pretend like we’re going to do better this time. It’s tradition, and we all know we should never, ever mess with tradition because change is bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that some folks need a little help in getting started, which is why we’ve provided the following list of things to get rid of on your local Buy Nothing group, and all the new things you’ll need to stay slightly ahead of the curve, but probably not. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
