We didn't downsize the house when we built a new one two years ago, but we downsized stuff. The new house is mostly finished space with relatively little unfinished storage space. We spent a year moving and very little went to the new house that didn't have a place and a purpose. It's amazing how much crap you can accumulate in just a few years. I was also amazed how good it felt to lose the extra crap.
My step father is going to be the subject of an episode of "hoarders" some day. Due to this, I think I have a very strong adverse reaction to extra crap. When I hear phrases like, "Take it to the basement/attic" what I hear is, "I have an unhealthy attachment to this worthless crap, and I want it to be a burden upon you when I die."
