About National Pack Rat Day
A pack rat is someone who collects things they don't need. It doesn't mean that the person is a hoarder, but a pack rat can turn into that.
So, today, take the opportunity today to look around and see if you are keeping things you don't need. Think of it as a late spring clean.
It may also be an opportunity to sell some unnecessary items and raise some extra cash, just don't spend it as a pack rat!
