While, in some ways, clutter is unavoidable, it’s actually stressing Americans out, according to a new survey—so much so that some people are losing sleep over it.conducted by Mercari, a resale app for buyers and sellers, surveyed 1,174 Americans on their attitude around household clutter towards the end of 2019. The survey found that most Americans are stressed out by how much stuff they accumulate.
According to the survey, 38 percent of respondents said that "accumulating less stuff" is one of their New Year's resolutions for 2020—but how they plan to go about this varied based on age and gender. While 30 percent of Gen Z Americans planned to sell their unwanted gifts, only 9 percent of Baby Boomers stated they planned to do the same.

"Their mindset as consumers contrasts with their parents' views, and their relationship with their possessions is changing."
