I agree. Before I moved to The Villages I lived in a two story 8 room house. Lots of extra rooms meant that I seldom had to throw anything away. When in doubt, save it.....you never know when you might need it.
When it came time to move to The Villages I felt like my junk owned me. There were lots of decisions to make but I finally got it down to a manageable amount. It's still too much but everything has sentimental value.
