That's not much stuff. It's all a matter of comparison.

No man can ever have enough stuff.
I still haven't forgiven my wife for all the wood ends, and things that 'will be useful one day' that I had to throw away seven years ago when we moved to our present house. I still miss every piece! |

I hate when I buy a part, and then find out later that I had that part tucked away in my garage somewhere.

And some day, hopefully not anytime soon, all of our stuff will get recycled to some future Villagers. |

We have TENS OF THOUSANDS of screws, nuts, bolts, and nails all categorized by material, type and size into jars in the man-cave. I totally get that these things all have use and function and it's great to have some handy. But we don't need more than 100 of each.

What is this word "need" people keep bandying about?

Yes I have a “hoarder” for a spouse. For example, 8 motorcycles, one of them works, several, scooters, they all work, a “workshop” up north that covers 900 square feet of basement. So much stuff unsorted that we buy another clamp or whatever because he can’t find any of the 12 he already bought, under everything. It’s not that he is messy, it’s that he is on the go all the time and has little time left over time for sorting. I just mark off his area as a “no go unless life depends on it” place and we’re both happy.

On the up side, whenever I want something, and I need it right away… well it takes time to find… but for sure it’s there somewhere in the basement “workshop”.
