I have so much stuff. It's not hoarding, really. I get rid of junk. I just have several houses and a few storage units. I've scads of music gear, tools, vehicles, etc.
My kids jokingly lament the need to go through it after I die. Meh... At least it is organized. I kinda like the idea of leaving them a giant task. Much of it is nominally valuable. They will be busy for quite a while. This makes me smile. Knowing them, they will enjoy it as well.
- Blackthorn 9y agoIt's really interesting to watch that TV show, American Pickers, because you can see in different episodes all sides of this equation. Some people are just straight up hoarders. Some people have very meticulously cataloged collections, they're just big. And sometimes you have people who have been left one of the above by their parents, and invariably just want to get rid of it and find it extremely emotionally trying. Take that last one to heart, and think of how it's not just a big task for your kids, but it's a really emotionally difficult and painful one for them as well.
- KGIII 9y agoOh, I want it to be a big task for them. It's well organized. I'm leaving them significant wealth. They might as well do something to earn it.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoMy kids jokingly lament the need to go through it after I die. They might not be joking, I'm dreading dealing with my parents estate when they go and that's just one house.
- KGIII 9y agoIn this case, it is well organized and much is already appraised.
