Look at it this way, kaphas being water and earth tend to cling to things whereas their opposites vatas being air and ether can't hold onto anything (especially money). Pittas being fire and water are somewhere inbetween (most Americans have Pitta predominant constitutions).
But most people these days have a version what you do that goes "if I haven't used it in 6 months or a year then out it goes." BTW, watch out for the 4th and finale episode of ABC's Master's of Science Fiction. It is based on a Harlan Ellison story and he wrote the screenplay. Jonathan Frakes directed and it star Brian Denehy and John Hurt. It is probably the best of the 4 episodes.
