This time I am just not into it. I can see where hoarders or people who refuse to leave their home are coming from. I am dealing with middle age I guess! I expected some things from this time in my life and pretty much none of it is happening (except my health is generally very good). So letting go of so much again feels crappy, I want to be able to hold on to more things they may want later or at least want to look at now and then. Preparing to rent a room is freeing, and difficult. I feel just right in my amount of space, maybe a bit large, but I won't be able to afford it.
One part is that passing some things to my kids is silly because they already have stuff or they also have very small spaces. It is not like you might think, lots of heavy furniture, more like if they have room for photo albums and a few memories.
I can't recall if I felt this way my last big down size, it was massive about 7 1/2 years ago, another smaller one 2 1/2 years ago.
