I'm 61 and have lived in the same house for 37 years. You wanna talk about stuff? We got stuff!
Fortunately the wife has also recently gotten on the "thin the herd" and is starting to clean house. I've also been doing that in the shop and storage.
I got rid of a couple of dirt bikes and acquired a couple of nice handguns I don't need, but the handguns do take up a lot less space.
Speaking of guns, I don't have as many as I used to, but I have more than I have used. Around 2010 I sold a lot of the guns I had and was fine with that. After Dad died I ended up with all of his and the "family guns". Then I bought some and traded into a couple more.
Guns have value beyond their purchase price, but I often wonder how many of them I really should hold onto.
As far as the rest of the stuff in our house, we could get rid of 80%, including clothing not including food, and we would probably not go wanting.
