the sale of the stuff...$13,000.  |
Hi,
I did see part two.
I was astonished at how much stuff she had bought over the years. Most of it was still in the original bags from the store.
I think that not every hoarder collects brand hew stuff. Other hoarders simply collect stuff from garage sales or stuff they inherit when a neighbor moves out and such.
I sort of wish Oprah did more stories about regular people -- not about a family that moved into a
three car garage 30+ years ago and where the wife had enough money to shop often.
I did appreciate the Oprah guy saying that people who hold on to things from the past or who save things in case they need them in the future do not live fully in the present.
