Those of us who struggle (big time) with clutter love to feel prepared for anything (and everything). The idea of decluttering can feel like giving up on that, and when worst-case scenarios actually happen, all those panicky feelings flare up and make it hard to let go of clutter.
The solution is not to pretend bad things can’t happen. It’s to accept reality. It’s reality that bad things happen. It’s also reality that keeping more stuff than my house can hold or that I can handle makes dealing with bad things (or even good things) more difficult.

Getting down to what you need, and having as little as possible, our two drastically distinctive separate ideas. Getting down to what I need in my home might be at a maximalist level compared to most minimalist, but it’s what keeps me comfortable and yet my family still has space to live. Getting down to as little as possible, that would make my family have greater than needed space to live and make me feel uncomfortably deprived such that I would start over filling my house beyond the space available for my family to live comfortably. So again those are too drastically different ideas.
