  Here's your Money Briefing for Monday, May 19th.

  I'm Derek Dennis for The Wall Street Journal.

  Couples are at a breaking point over cheap and easy purchases and the piles of household clutter that come with it.

• 00:21

  Add to that the overall cost of keeping it all.

• 00:25

  Americans are cutting back, trying to save money.

  So you're not having as many people going out and paying for storage units.

• 00:32

  So what does that mean for all that stuff?

• 00:33

  It means that it's in your home or that people are storing it in their homes and garages.

  We talked to Wall Street Journal reporter Dalvin Brown about the kinds of things people are buying and the tough negotiation or even secret purging it sometimes takes to get rid of it.

  That's after the break.

  Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life.

• 01:12

  Here's a way to start a conversation.

• 01:14

  Your family is going over to your neighbor's home for dinner for the first time.

• 01:17

  How would you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home?

• 01:20

  Hey!

• 01:21

  Hey, we're so excited for tonight.

• 01:23

  Before we come over, though, may I ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home?

• 01:27

  Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that the kids can't access.

• 01:32

  Awesome.

• 01:33
