I have clothes in my closet that I can't even wear anymore!! My attic is full of things that my kids did in grade school, even all the trophys thay won. They don't even want them. So I hoard for sentimental reasons.

I sometimes start to get rid of them, but spend hours reading it all and can't get the deed done. My house doesn't look junky, because alot of it is either in the attic , drawers or basement.

If I have to downsize, then it will definately go. If not then it will be up to my 3 grown sons to wade through the mess after I'm gone. What a job they will have.LOL

Wiix, leaving your STUFF to a friends daughter is a great idea!!
