Advice: Don't be like me...

[ray1970]

I want to get rid of lots of stuff. Wife isn't really down with that. Apparently we're just gonna keep building additional structures to house it all until we die.

Sounds like my life. I don?t have a problem getting rid of stuff but my wife is a borderline hoarder. She has a recent infatuation with tiny living and downsizing but she just lives that fantasy through others because there?s no way in hell she could get rid of enough stuff to live tiny.

I worked on getting rid of stuff last year when we thought we would move. Got rid of stuff. And some of it just got kept for no reason. But somehow I can?t get rid of any tools I bought. 3.5? framing air gun. Paint sprayer I used once. Etc. the transition jack came in handy though after 3 years of storage. So go figure. And my gun stuff. I leap meaning to purge but every time I look in the safe it all goes back.
I think the urge to purge is an older guy thing.

If anyone here is getting up there in years, please start getting rid of stuff you don?t need. Don?t leave your loved ones the task of having to declutter your life after you?ve gone. They?ll have enough to deal with and burdening them with going through a lifetime of stuff is just crap they don?t need to deal with.

When Grandpa died in 2001, Dad's two sisters decided they were going to clean out his house. After two days of them sitting around, reminiscing about every object in every box, Dad got pissed told them to knock it off. He hired a guy and his wife who did exactly that sort of thing. They got rid of everything and in a week handed the three kids equal piles of money.

Those two weepy old broads would still be over there, sifting through everything.

We downsized. Now with all the deals i've run in to out here. I have more than when living in CO.

Probably thet FTF firearm transactions and estate sales have something to do with it.

Can't let those outbuildings sit vacant.
