I'm a boomer and I agree. I've been trying to declutter my house for a while but it's a lot. I'm not a hoarder by any means but 30 years of people's junk takes a lot to sort through.

Thank you for saying this. There’s a lot of Boomer hate on TT and I don’t get it. I’m sure thankful my kids like me. Aging comes for us all, BTW.

Hi :
After helping my mom de-hoard her home for my whole life - empathy is HARD to find as I spent my holidays de hoarding her house again.

My grandparents weren't hoarders but my Nana grew up in WWII London on rations. Everything had to be saved and reused. We would do well to adopt some of that for the environment & our finances.

My daughter complains about how messy our house is but a lot of the stuff here belongs to her. I ask her if I can get rid of things and she says no. I then ask if she can take the items to her place but she says she doesn’t have enough room.

My dad hid his “collections” in the unused bedrooms and garage. My brother and I have quietly cleaned things out. Never once thought to embarrass him and post on social media.

Those collectibles of my mom’s that I had no attachment to while she was alive took on a different meaning for me after she died.

I’m in my 70’s. My kids know there are memories attached to so much of my ‘stuff’. I want to get rid of a lot of it and I do some everyday.

And if Nana wants you to have a precious figurine after she passes, or a tea set you smile and show gratitude that she loves you enough to bestow one of her treasures to you, even if you don’t want it

“Not goodwill” yes! But I struggle with finding a “good” charity shop to donate to. Here in Canada goodwill may be different. They do offer employment services here. Do you have a recommendation? 😬

My wife and her brothers helped their mom clean out their house and 2 storage sheds. Two years later her house was stacked floor to ceiling with stuff be bought at thrift stores. There is no point.

Once you have been in one place for long enough, humans tend to collect things. Especially in our society. 2. We may go through another depression, so don't judge too harshly.

Growing up post depression, boomers were told to save, save, save. My mom said she was told everything had to be used a minimum of 3x.

My mom started “Swedish death cleaning” in 2020. It’s great. My dad on the other hand …. Tools, so many tools.

I have a massive crafting stash because in my head after my husband retires I won’t have the money to spend on stuff like that willy nilly.
