Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We left Atlanta and moved to ultra Low COL Alabama 19 years ago--downsizing to 3300 square feet. About the same time, we closed out my parents' main home and inherited their fine furniture. Then we closed out my aunt's home and moved her into assisted living. After it was said and done, I ended up with my grandfather's full cabinet shop and enough furniture and "stuff" to fill six double car garages.
I've been hauling truck loads to the city dump just about weekly for all these years. And then we upsized our homes twice. Right now, I still have a triple car garage of unneeded but nice furniture.
If something happened to us today, it would be a big burden to empty this house for resale. Just settling our estate would be a big enough burden to place on one daughter, the accountant who lives 200 miles away.
After all, it's just stuff and if someone's not used something in 10 years, they don't need it.
