I'm currently helping clear out my wife's grandparents place. They are 93 and 95 years old. So far we have thrown away over 2000kg of crap accumulated over the 62 years they have been in the house. None of it has any use or value at all. We have to pay to get it taken away in a skip. We're probably half way through now. I've watched them for the last decade clinging onto these things and I think it's kind of pitiful that possessions hold so much value and are so important. They have sacrificed their health and remaining life to have a large house to hold it all rather than take a bungalow which they can actually get around and live in. There is no conclusion here apart from: please don't end up like this - it's heartbreaking to watch people enslaved by it. I myself have a precise "100 things for me and 100 things shared with the family" policy. I will never compromise on that.
