Quantity
How much stuff do I really have? More than I thought actually; having to catalog every item in my possession sure sheds light on how much stuff there actually is in my living space.
Not all that surprising is that the stuff I own the most of is really cheap. Though in the top 5 items, 2 of the items, Records and DVDs, I value at least $10 per one of that item. This is because I collect those two items; they aren't just something I tend to amass lots of, I seek them out.
Also, the items that I tend to have only one of are consumables, showing that I don't generally eat a lot of the same food everyday.
