thrower/hoarder scenario exist in most families > Mine is a saver/hoarder never know when your going to need it type. Plus she was reared in a large family so buying in quantity is a way of life.
We deposited truck load after truck load of stuff. Gave away expensive furniture, etc.
But that's what we are suppose to be doing ....its the liquidation period of our lives. to my wife it is still a tough sale but she is getting better.
One poster stated she shredded a lot of paper. We did too but I used it as packing material when we boxed up our belongings.
One poster said don't get carried away with too much formal wear. Again I kept one suit and two blazers and I have used them sparingly.
The big test for my wife will come this fall when we tackle some of the stuff in the attic that she felt we just needed. My rule if we haven't used it in a year it out the door because as a poster mentioned it is n ot nice to leave that mess for the kids.
