Funny, my Mom's just the opposite, she's constantly downsizing things Pickers would go crazy over because she doesn't find them as valuable as other people do and therefore, in her world, they aren't. Sold their house for 2/3 market value, because "that's what it was worth" (???) Set a collection of vinyl worth probably $20,000 on the curb. (Dad's.) Gave the Salvation Army a set of almost new furniture, a Hummel collection and a 20*16 authentic oriental rug because she never liked the pattern. (Gifts from her MIL.) It's especially irksome because she grew up poor and she's always hounding me to save money, save save save, but she doesn't seem to see that some Stuff is money whether it agrees with your personal taste or not. I've finally decided she can do what she wants with her stuff even though it bleeds money out of the family estate, but I have the right to do what I like with whatever comes into my possession.Quote:
