There is a dumpster in our driveway as the restoration work from the water damage continues. We've put a bunch of stuff in there but really need to step it up while it's still here! Someday semi-soon it'll be gone![/quote]

[quote=John McClane]boxes of random papers? man, you got a kid, those are canvases. ;)[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]This is more just a bunch of crap we have collected over the used and then eventually rotated out or stopped using. Clothes, various pieces of art, boxes of random papers etc.[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=John McClane]why is it that the generation that says "hold onto that it could be worth something some day" is also the generation most likely to throw out/sell shit for peanuts?[/quote]

I think they hold on to stuff mainly for the sentimental value, meaning that selling it isn’t really the point. I guess it’s some kind of shift where they suddenly don’t value it anymore.

I’ve also seen sudden onsets of hoarding closely followed by Marie Kondo-esque decluttering. One can barely keep up.[/quote]
